Some of my favourite CGI work on Soviet Space Projects.
Nick, this post makes it quite evident that you have put a LOT of work into modeling and rendering these spacecraft!
Thanks - and still so much more to do!
Nick I think you meant to say that the TK1 mission was similar to apollo NINE, which tested the Apollo CSM and LM in Earth orbit
Thanks Joseph, you are correct. I have updated the article.
Any idea why Soviet space designs have so many circles and curves? The US space stuff looks blocky by comparison.
Because the "curved" shells provide the optimal ratio between mass and strength for the fuel tanks and other construction under pressure.
well, I suppose the tended to design with lots of small round pressurised tanks on the outside...
