We suggest applying the rich experience gained by the domestic cosmonautics in long-term manned missions in its creation," the report says.

DDE Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I don’t know what’s worse: being introduced not as a cosmonaut but as the deputy chair of parliamentary comission on federative and municipal governance - or ending up with that job just because you were a cosmonaut. I’m not one to defend Tereshkova, but, dammit, RBC, that’s disrespectful in my book: https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&nv=1&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=auto&sp=nmt4&tl=en&u=https://www.rbc.ru/photoreport/27/12/2018/5c25090f9a7947a9b62b2057&xid=17259,15700023,15700124,15700126,15700186,15700190,15700201,15700237,15700242,15700248&usg=ALkJrhgxFIxyLy5pkyhQX3cd7MA05q8jrw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4472TJ Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Yes they do. Except it is a bit more tech advanced, but not computer controlled, specifically for the fact that they want it human controlled, its much easier for better quality shots that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Baron Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) Cool ! A Minox from the 30s. Famous movie spy camera (and for everybody else who could afford it). I once owned a used Minox 35 EL. It sometimes had problems with the film transport mechanism, iirc Edited January 5, 2019 by Green Baron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
