Scientific paper

A total of 742 satellites weighing together 2,233 tons, including 41 craft weighing a total of 110 tons, which attained speeds close to escape velocity had been launched by the Soviet Union by July 1, 1973. Using these facts, the weights of the second generation Zond and third generation Luna vehicles are derived. The masses of various types of Russian spacecraft are estimated. It is suggested that by using the resulting figures, estimates can be made of the hardware commitment made to each of the different projects involved in the Russian space program and of their relative priorities.
