Japanese illustrations of American space projects in the 1960s

[russiafareast1972]

I am a collector of vintage popular science illustrations. Check out these old realistic illustrations from Japanese books and sticker albums from the 1970s. Passenger ballistic super rocket Pegasus and cruciform orbital station in the late 1960s. Japanese technical cross-sections from their popular books and magazines are practically unknown in Russia and the West. It's now called Science Otaku. In Japan, several memorial retrofuturo albums were published in 2010-2022.

found the image i had in my head.
its a nasa concept drawing and has nothing to do with japanese space art.
still fits the overall drawing style and time period.
