RGANTD Dump Volumes 1 & 2 Combined.
This product is a combination of Volumes 1 & 2 of the RGANTD dumps of Soviet Era Space Reference Material.
There's nothing extra here, it's provided as a convenience, (and at a saving), compared to buying volumes 1 and 2 separately.
There are about 400 scans, (text and images), provided as JPG images, and I have also run each page through Yandex Image Translate, to help you. Translation is basic, but it's handy to have text on images translated in place, next to the diagrams. Resolution varies, but it is generally low to moderate.
I'm NOT including my enhanced / enlarged versions.
I'm arranging them according to the RGANTD structure in folders by:
- Fond (фонд) = literally 'fund' but more accurately "Collection"
- Opis' (опись) = literally 'inventory' which means a group listing of files within a Fond
- Delo (дело) = literally 'file' (as in a folder containing documents within an Opis
- List (лист) = 'leaf' or 'page'
This structure will make it easy to refer to RGANTD and to slot in new pages as they are released. You can merge these files with volume 1 by simply merging the folders.
Please note: These files are not really suitable for someone with a casual interest, they are much more suitable for people with a deep interest in the Soviet Space Program. Having said that, I think that artists will enjoy and appreciate the illustrations which generally show rarely seen hardware.
I have included notes on what you can do to take translations etc to the next level. I hope that you find these documents as fascinating as I do.
400 pages of archive Soviet Space information, with computer translated versions.
