- drysine 6mo agoSome trivia: Bureau 1440 is named so to evoke associations with Soviet era "design bureaux" which were behind USSR's achievements in technology, and with the Soviet satellite, which was the first in the world and made 1440 orbits around Earth. The name of satellite constellation (Rassvet, meaning Down) is a play on early Soviet space programs' names - Voshod (Sunrise, like American Mercury) and Vostok (East, where the sun rises; was like American Gemini).
