The Soyuz Launch Vehicle by Christian Lardier
The Soyuz Launch Vehicle tells the story, for the first time in a single English-language book, of the extremely successful Soyuz launch vehicle. It was also the workhorse for launching satellites and space probes and has recently been given a second life in French Guiana, fulfilling a commercial role in a joint venture with France.
Christian Lardier has been space editor at Air & Cosmos (www.air-cosmos.com), an aerospace industry news source since 1994, and is the author of several magazine articles as well as the book “La cosmonautique soviétque” (Armand Colin, 1992). From 1991 to 1996, Lardier was accredited by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Moscow. To write this book, “The Soyuz Launch Vehicle,” Lardier worked with specialists at the State Research and Production Space-Rocket Center of Samara.
