Scenarios about 'soviet space program'
The Soviet space program encompassed the scientific and technological efforts of the USSR in space exploration from the 1950s through 1991. It achieved numerous pioneering milestones including the first artificial satellite (Sputnik), first human in space (Yuri Gagarin), first spacewalk, and first space station, representing both scientific achievement and Cold War competition with the United States. In alternate histories, the Soviet program often serves as a point of divergence for timelines featuring different outcomes in the Space Race or continued Soviet technological dominance.
