... The Military Aspects of the Soviet Cosmonautics : A Side View . This book is the first effort in an unclassified Soviet publications to provide a comprehensive overview of the Soviet military space program. Presented here are the classification of the military space systems by functions performed (Chapter 1), the analysis of the organizational evolution of the Soviet space program (Chapter 2) and the description of all observable satellite systems of military or double destination (Chapter 3). ...
