The very stylish, Kosmostrator - Classic interplanetary spacecraft featured in the 1960 East German-Polish sci-fi co-production, The Silent Star (Der Schweigende Stern). The film was released in the US in 1962 - shortened and retitled, The First Spaceship On Venus. The storyline was set in 1985 and based on Polish writer Stanislaw Lem’s first sci-fi novel, The Astronauts (1951). This large scale production was the first to be shot in the ‘Totalvision’ widescreen process.
