Hardback. Karl Gilzin, Foreign Language Publishing House. Author: Karl GilzinBinding: HardbackPublished: Foreign Language Publishing House, 1957Condition:Book: FairJacket: DamagedPages: GoodMarkings: No markingsCondition remarks: Dust jacket damaged with some areas missing (see photo) and some general wear along edges, protected by plastic jacketWhen this book was originally published in the Soviet Union in 1957 - the year Sputnik was launched - the author said: "The youth throughout the world have been manifesting a great interest in the problem of space travel. This interest has long since ceased to be a question of idle curiosity: 'Is space travel possible?' Every pupil now knows the answer to this question. "The interest of our young people in the problem of space travel has assumed quite concrete form. They want to know what interplanetary flights are possible today, at the present level of scientific and technical development, they want to know what achievements have been attained in the development of remarkable reaction engines, which will be the vital part of any interplanetary vessel. These young people question the astronomers about the routes of future cosmic flights. They question the doctors about the specific effects of space travel on the human organism. They are interested in the possibility of a collision between a space ship and meteors, in the possibility of using artificial satellites of the Earth and in many other things. "In a few words, our youth are keenly interested in all the problems covered by the science of space travel. This science has already developed to such an extent, especially during the past decade, that it is impossible even to attempt any detailed account of its achievements in any one book.". Hardback.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jacket and illustrations by N. Kolchitsky (illustrator). 1st Edition. First UK edition, first impression. Some slight edge wear, to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners very slightly rubbed, but fab retro largely dark blue jacket bright and unsunned. Not price clipped (no published price), no inscriptions, frontispiece photo of Sputnik partially loose, otherwise internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy for its age. 287pp. Sputnik One was the first artificial Earth satellite. It was a 58 cm diameter polished metal sphere, with four external radio antennas to broadcast radio pulses. The Soviet Union launched it into an elliptical low Earth orbit on 4th October 1957. It was visible all around the Earth and its radio pulses were detectable. The surprise success precipitated the American Sputnik crisis and triggered the Space Race, a part of the larger Cold War. The launch ushered in new political, military, technological, and scientific developments. Sputnik One burned up on 4th January 1958, as it fell from orbit upon reentering Earth's atmosphere, after travelling about 70 million km and spending 3 months in orbit. This book is a lively, unofficial account of Soviet space technology by Russian popular science writer Karl Alexandrovich Gilzin (1910-?).
