Feast your eyes on these early Soviet spacecraft

Rob Ketcherside , a hardware and software program manager in Seattle , has a truly astonishing photo serial publication hiding on his Flickr Sir Frederick Handley Page . The picture I am talking about were taken by his grandfather , David C. Cook , in Pavilion No . 32 — called “ Kosmos”—at theAll - Russia Exhibition Centerin Moscow . And I am very beaming that I find them and got permit to apportion them , because those shining Soviet space vehicle are simply endearing .

It is also interesting how and when the photographs below were taken : David C. Cook was a former MIT Radiation Lab ( Rad Lab ) engineer who go to work for the US Navy Research Lab ( NRL ) after WW2 . By the 1960s , he was also part of the International Electrotechnical Commission ’s ( IEC ) Technical Committee 45 , place standards for atomic reactor mental test equipment . TC45 hold yearly conference , circumvolve around mostly European city . In 1969 it was held in Moscow , provide a rare chance to bring down the USSR and gain very important person access ( and pardon ) for photography .

So we can see the Soviet results of the first decennary of the space race : the Vostok spacecraft , various satellites , and outer space probes on great Kodachrome swoop , run down by Rob Ketcherside , Cook ’s grandson . By the way , the whole setdeserves your attention ; you ’ll incur uncommon Moscow scene from the Sixties in it .
