A comprehensive space encyclopaedia of the history of Russians in space. This English CD-ROM for PCs and Macs includes archival video and audio, 400 pictures and hundreds of pages of text on the Russian space program.

40th Anniversary of Sputnik-Special Edition version 2.1-Russians in Space CD-ROM. Multimedia history of Russian rocketry, pioneers, and Space exploration from the 16th century to the present. Estimated running time: 24+ hours.

Produced to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Soviet Union's 'October surprise', the successful launching of the world's first artificial satellite, Sputnik, on October 4, 1957. This was the event which touched off the Space Race between the USA and the USSR. Includes video footage of the N-1 launch.

Although many of the film clips are exciting , RiSv2.1 is also a serious reference tool for all ages with eye-opening technical, historical, and political content--about 1 hour of compressed video with narration and music, almost 400 images organized into 100+ interactive modules of 1-7 pages of text each. It has a timeline that goes back to the early 16th century (the first use of military rockets by the Zaporozhiye Cossacks against the Turks). There's footage of "Chief Designer" S.P.Korolev, film clips of the N-1 taking off, the first Soviet atomic bomb test, robotic planetary missions, and other rare, obscure material. There's lots of scaled colour pictures and cutaways of Soviet rockets and hardware which can be cut and pasted directly into desktop publishing applications, so it's valuable to scholars as well.
