Astronyms Summary

    This isn't a real blog post, I just keep annoying myself with how tricky it is to manage and update all of the Astronyms series of posts, scattered as they are among all sorts of other posts over many years. So I've decided to make this thing, a combination of Table of Contents and a minimal summary table of the known vessel names only, excluding all else (classes of vessel that never had any unique names are listed too, just to point out this absence). The table of contents has been removed from part 1, and all parts now link to here, but otherwise the existing posts remain unchanged by this.

    Table of Contents
    Part 1: Soviet/Russian Condoms
    Part 2: Soviet/Russian Stations and Oddities
    Part 3: Projects Mercury & Gemini and the X-15
    Part 4: Project Apollo, Skylab and the last US Condoms
    Part 5: The Shuttles and the ISS
    Part 6: Chinese Condoms and Stations
    Part 7: Private Space Vessels and Future Probables
    Part K: The Kerbal Kondoms
