SPUTNIKS AND AFTER

by Gilzin, K.

London, 1959: Macdonald and Co., Ltd., 285 pages, $5.00

A translation of a Soviet general-level book on space travel and interplanetary exploration, it includes accounts of the history of rockets and satellite developments. First published in Moscow in 1957, it provides little information on modern Soviet space accomplishments except to review selected aspects of the three first Sputniks. Some details are given on Soviet meteorological and geophysical sounding rockets.
