“Kosmonaut Yuri Gagarin” - soviet atmosphere and space research ship. In: CPCP - Братерство. Мистецтво, Київ, 1972.
Kosmonavt Yuri Gagarin (Russian: «Космона́вт Ю́рий Гага́рин») was a Soviet space control-monitoring ship that was devoted to detecting and receiving satellite communications. Named after cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, she was completed in December 1971 to support the Soviet space program. The ship also conducted upper atmosphere and outer space research. She was sold for scrap shortly after the break-up of the Soviet Union along with the Akademik Sergei Korolev.

Space crush: Gherman Titov (1935–2000). In: Kulcsár István: A világűr meghódítói. Móra Ferenc Könyvkiadó, Budapest, 1962.

Titov was the second human to orbit the Earth aboard Vostok 2, the first person to orbit the Earth multiple times (a total of 17), to spend more than a day in space, to sleep in orbit and to suffer from space sickness. He was the first to pilot a spaceship personally and he made the first manual photographs from orbit, thus setting a record for modern space photography. A month short of 26 years old at launch, to this day he remains the youngest - and definitely the most handsome - person to fly in space.

In memoriam the Soyuz-11 crew. Hungarian linocut print, date, artist unknown. C1971.Soyuz 11 was the first and only manned mission to arrive at the world’s first space station, Salyut 1. The mission arrived at the space station on June 7, 1971 and departed on June 30, 1971. The mission ended in disaster when the crew capsule depressurized during preparations for re-entry, killing the three-man crew. This accident resulted in the only human deaths to occur in space (as opposed to high atmosphere). The crew members aboard Soyuz 11 were Vladislav Volkov, Georgi Dobrovolski and Viktor Patsayev.
