Cosmonautics. How to make a Soyuz rocket (2018)

For more than half a century, the Soyuz launch vehicle has successfully launched spacecraft and crewed ships into orbit.

Originally developed as a weapon, the rocket became famous by launching the world's first artificial satellite into space, and since then it has continued to work only for peaceful space.

The perfection of the design makes it possible to modernize the rocket, leaving intact the general principles laid down by the designer Sergei Korolev.

To date, the Soyuz remains the most popular rocket in the launch services market and launches from four spaceports located on two continents.
