Soviet Space Program Reference Material
This section of this web site is intended to supplement information already published in my monograph on Soviet spacecraft. Clarifications, additions, photos and other new info will be posted (or removed) here as appropriate.
I use to correspond regularly with a
German space memorabilia collector, Tassi Romisch. He gave me a
sample of early Soyuz, Salyut and Mir green thermal blankets.
Here are some photos with color chips that may help you match a
paint color to your model. Note the photo was taken next to a
window on a bright overcast day (not direct sunlight).
This has some photos (from C.
P. Vick) showing the wire harness that runs along the underside
of the Soyuz TM.
