Rocket technology of the USSR: The Soviet Union built upon German V-2 technology and developed powerful rockets such as the R-2, R-5, and R-7, which were used both militarily and for space exploration.
Foundation for space exploration: These rockets were the basis for the launch of Sputnik 1 (1957) and later the first manned space flight with Yuri Gagarin (1961).
The image symbolizes the technological progress of the Soviet Union and the race into space during the Cold War.
