This CD-ROM on the history of the Russian space programme contains nearly 400 colourful images and an hour of video compressed with narration and music, which form 101 educational modules documenting the key figures, politics, successes and failures of the programme.
Russians in Space presents a solid introduction to the Soviet space programme, its rockets, pioneers and history.

The user-friendly CD-ROM ranges from the basics - solar system, rockets, spacesuits - to more technical topics, such as artificial Earth satellites, military rocketry, research programmes and spy satellites. A synergy of nearly 400 colourful images and a full hour of video compressed with narration and music blend into 101 educational modules, documenting the key figures, politics, successes and failures surrounding the space programme - from its earliest origins to today's Mir orbital complex. ""Russians in Space"" also touches on the Soviet's race to reach the Moon, covered extensively in James Harford's book, ""Korolev: How One Man Masterminded the Soviet Drive to Beat America to the Moon"". Disc features include a comprehensive timeline with at-a-glance definitions and photos.Using intuitive icons, the menu-driven, graphical interface allows users to easily navigate the disc's contents, picture and video galleries.
