Rocketry: Difference between revisions

By 1968, both Britain and Russia had fully operational TARs. The British TAR, named GT22 Albion, was first deployed in a high-security base in Cyprus, while the Russian equivalent, the Hranitel-H10, was stationed in a newly constructed facility in the Ural Mountains. In 1978, ANAN launched the Atahensic, which carried the first manmade satellite, Quetzalcoatl-1, into space.
