Source for historical missions

[gowthamn]

Is there any source for major historical missions with details regarding the following?

• When was the mission?
• What rocket, propellant, payload (if any) was used?
• What path was taken to the destination?
• What scientific instruments did the payload have? Was the payload a lander or probe. What was its goal?
• Which country launched the mission and from which launch site?
• What was the mass of the rocket / payload?

I have seen many YT videos about replicating history but they don't tell where they got the above information from?

http://space.skyrocket.de is very good for that kind of thing. It's sounds like you're mostly wanting info on interplanetary probes, for which they have a dedicated section.

Wikipedia alone is likely to provide enough information, especially on Western-made vehicles and payloads. You can then trace the elements of the launch vehicles, such as a Shuttle followed by a two-stage solid-rocket motor for the Galileo.

Thanks. That website has some very good info.

 I am trying to replicate history from 1945 as many in Youtube have. So more detailed the history, the better.
