I am Zaria: The story of a ground support complex
Abstract
The Soviet ground support complex for space flights is described, with particular emphasis placed on the development of techniques of data reception, transmission, and processing, as well as space-flight control. Mention is made of the Zaria radio station through which the first ground-space-ground communications (Apr. 12, 1961) were effected; 'I am Zaria' is how the ground operator would open the communication.
