Hi Everyone;
Fridrikh Arturovich Tsander (1887-1933) is a well-known pioneer of cosmonautics. He designed the first ever liquid-fueled rocket to be launched in the Soviet Union, GIRD-X, and even worked with Korolev on a rocket aircraft project, as previously highlighted in this well-documented thread:
Tsander's english wiki page here for reference:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Zander
In 1924, Tsander published a landmark article on space travel in "Technics & Life" "Tekhnika i Zhizn". (BTW, the design of this magazine was handled by a legendary avant-garde artist / photographer, A. Rodschenko):
Ф. А. Цандер, "Перелеты на другие планеты", Tехника и жизнь, 1924, issue 13, pp.15-16.
This article, which presents blueprints of a space-rocket aircraft (aka "space shuttle"), can be downloaded in full from here: https://ru.wikisource.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%86%D0%B0:%D0%9F%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%B5%D1%82%D1%8B_%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D0%B4%D1%80%D1%83%D0%B3%D0%B8%D0%B5_%D0%BF%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%82%D1%8B_(%D0%A6%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D0%B5%D1%80,_1924).pdf/2
The drawing is captioned as "Конструкция далеко летающей ракеты." / "The design of the far flying rocket"
In 1932, one year before he died, Tsander published an iconic book (reprinted many times):
Цандер, Проблема полета при помощи реактивных аппаратов, 1932

This document showcases another "shuttle" design, p.46
