Hello I'm interested in the pioneering times of spaceflight (say, before Mir/Space Shuttle era). Nasa disclosed the details of their early manned spacecraft, what made possible to read original spacecraft papers; seems Rosskosmos still didn't. It will be interesting to compare different approaches of spacecraft control (http://web.mit.edu/slava/space/essays/essay-ponomareva.htm), but I can't find any detailed info about Rusiian IDS's. I know these classic Yurii Tiapchenko articles (http://web.mit.edu/slava/space/essays/essay-tiapchenko1.htm) of course, but I want to know more details. For example, ow the commands are entered into the computer (this x-y matrix) is briefly explained in Tiapchenko's essays, but what commands exactly? How the sequencing system works? What exactly is displayed on the CRT and what it looks like? Etc. Any resources? Preferably in English, bu Russian is veeeery basic.
>>198231 You came to wrong board, bro. It's kanikuly-time now, so there are many schoolnicks here. They just want to voevat for didi in paradigm of modern russian faschism and propaganda, and ebat your american mamka.
I'm not aware of anything like this in English though, but I can translate or clear up some bits for you if you want (not everything, it's too much). What you can also do is to ask at Novosti Kosmonavtiki forums, in their history section, there are people like Anatoly Zak (author of russianspaceweb), Nicolas Pillet etc who hopefully have some detailed sources in English.
> Nasa disclosed the details of their early manned spacecraft, what made possible to read original spacecraft papers; seems Rosskosmos still didn't. AFAIK they actually did it in early 90s, but most papers are available on paper (duh) and everything is in Russian. They never bothered to put them online; Roscosmos generally sucks at PR even more than JAXA. I'm sure there's a lot of tangentionally related articles/books available online though, I'm just not aware of anything in English.
>>198296 Thanks for this info! Especially, these Neptune files seems to contain exactly what i want, along with another files from cosmoworld.ru I already found. Time to refresh my rather forgotten knowledge of Russian... or my sister, who is studying Russian philology, may have some stuff for her kanikuly practice :-)
You really in the wrong place. This is board of KSP players who sometimes try to discuss something about real space with zero result. And, also, we all are virtual pilots.
