Produced to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Soviet Union's "October surprise", the successful launching of the world's first artificial satellite, Sputnik, on October 4, 1957. This was the event which touched off the Space Race between the USA and the USSR.
Includes rare archival footage of the N-1 launch, the Soviets' ill-fated moon rocket, and an even rarer animation of the Soviet antisatellite istrebitel sputnikov (from the design bureau which built it) depicting the interception of an early American CORONA spy satellite attached to its Agena upper stage.
Makes an excellent companion to Newkirk's Almanac of Soviet Manned Space Flight.
