Soviet Space Socks
Description: Lost somewhere between galaxies. This sad astronaut design features a lonely space traveler drifting through the universe while sitting on a vintage satellite, inspired by early space exploration. A nostalgic and emotional piece for anyone who feels a little lost, disconnected, or floating through life. Part of the „Low Orbit Feelings” collection.
Description: Boctok 3 was a spaceflight of the Soviet space program intended to determine the ability of the human body to function in conditions of weightlessness and test the endurance of the Vostok 3KA spacecraft over longer flights. Cosmonaut Andriyan Nikolayev orbited the Earth 64 times over nearly four days in space, August 11–15, 1962, a feat which would not be matched by NASA until the Gemini program (1965–1966).[1] (source : wikipedia)
Description: Sputnik 1 was the first artificial Earth satellite.[6] The Soviet Union launched it into an elliptical low Earth orbit on 4 October 1957, orbiting for three weeks before its batteries died, then silently for two more months before falling back into the atmosphere. It was a 58 cm (23 in) diameter polished metal sphere, with four external radio antennas to broadcast radio pulses. Its radio signal was easily detectable even by radio amateurs,[7] and the 65° inclination and duration of its orbit made its flight path cover virtually the entire inhabited Earth. This surprise success precipitated the American Sputnik crisis and triggered the Space Race, a part of the Cold War.
Description: Take a trip back to the golden age of the Space Race with this authentic, distressed-style emblem of the Lunokhod-1, the first remote-controlled robot to land on another world. Featuring bold Cyrillic typography that reads "Soviet Lunar Program," this vintage-inspired design captures the heroic aesthetic of 1970s Soviet space mission pins. Perfect for space history buffs, astronomy lovers, and fans of retro-futuristic graphic design.
Description: If you're into space, satellites, the international space station, and rockets -- then this cool space shuttle shirt is just for you. Bonus points if you're an aerospace engineer! Featuring a soviet era sputnik design, this outer space t shirt makes the perfect gift or birthday present for any fan of the galaxy, solar system, planets, spacecraft, and stars. Every astronaut and cosmonaut is welcome!
Description: Laika (1954 – 3 November 1957) was a Soviet space dog who became one of the first animals in space, and the first animal to orbit the Earth. Laika, a stray mongrel from the streets of Moscow, was selected to be the occupant of the Soviet spacecraft Sputnik 2 that was launched into outer space on 3 November 1957.
Description: Sputnik 3 was a Soviet satellite launched on 15 May 1958 from Baikonur Cosmodrome by a modified R-7/SS-6 ICBM. The scientific satellite carried a large array of instruments for geophysical research of the upper atmosphere and near space. Sputnik 3 was the only Soviet satellite launched in 1958.
Description: April 12, 2021 - exactly 60 years ago 27-year old cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first man to journey into outer space. At 9:07 a.m. on April 12, 1961, when Gagarin’s Vostok 1 spacecraft lifted off from Baikonur cosmodrome, he uttered the surprisingly informal, immediately iconic exclamation “Поехали!" ("Poyekhali!" - Translation: “Let’s go!”) His flight, a single orbit around the Earth, was uneventful, but the landing ended in near-disaster when the cables joining the Vostok’s descent module and service module failed to separate properly, causing massive shaking as the spacecraft reentered Earth’s atmosphere. Gagarin ejected before landing, parachuting down safely near the Volga River.
Description: CCCP Luna 2 1959 - Luna 2 (E-1A series) or Lunik 2 (Russian: Луна 2) was the sixth of the Soviet Union's Luna programme spacecraft launched to the Moon. It was the first spacecraft to reach the surface of the Moon, and the first human-made object to make contact with another celestial body. On September 13, 1959, it hit the Moon's surface east of Mare Imbrium near the craters Aristides, Archimedes, and Autolycus.[2] (Source : Wikipedia)
