Lunniy Korabl (LK) Spacecraft
(see text below photo)
Artists' depiction of LK on final descent to the lunar
surface. The RCS thrusters at the top of the vehicle are firing, probably
to stabilize what may have been a very top heavy craft. This illustration
and the next 2 in the series are the only depictions I've ever seen of
the LK with the green thermal blankets the Soviets use on most of their
manned vehicles.
