full member of 4 other Academies, the professor. The winner of 20 branch
competitions on the best inventions on space-rocket subjects, the honorary
title Moscow area ╚The Best inventor╩ is appropriated, has
46 copyright Certificates on inventions, including, on pioneer ones, not having
the prototypes, opening new prospects to astronautics.
Chairman of Veterans Group (Association) of a space-rocket science and technics
at the Russian Sciences Academy. Has ended the Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI),
the Artillery Sciences Academies on jet technics by correspondence (as
postgraduate student), also 4 faculties on philosophy, psychologies, to the
mathematics. The president of the World Movement and the Rector of the Public University of space self-programming and self-development of the person and a
society. Trainer Ushu, Yogas, Raiki. Was the candidate for cosmonauts, he had
training high-altitude and parachute preparation, flied on gliders, balloons;
was the head of a patent bureau, etc.
Participated in substantiations, calculations, flying tests, working off
of the first intercontinental and space launch rockets R(P)-7, R-7а, R-9, R-16, UR(УР)-500, etc., ballistic
missiles R(Р)-12, R(Р)-14,
etc., antirockets V(B)-1000; in a substantiation of rocket and starting
complexes, the ground equipment and it is rocket-proving grounds/ranges for
them; in a substantiation of tactic-technical requirements for all new
rockets-carriers developing up to 1983 and rocket complexes for them.
Has developed in 1943-45 the Programs of studying and outer space exploration.
The organizer, the head, the ideologist of the Interuniversity Branches first
in Moscow, the Design brigade, flying-research group of scientific
organizations of preparation of technical realization of rocket and space
flights at Moscow Aviation institute in 1943-48; participated in preparation of
more than 300 experts-enthusiasts for work in space-rocket branch.
In 1943-45 has proved also directed since 1945 to the Presidium of the Academy
of Sciences, Central Committee VKP(b), Central Committee of Komsomol, Presidium
CC of Osoaviahim (Society on help to Defences, Aviation & Quimical
industry), Meteorological Servis, All Union Committee of High School (VКVSh), Committee on Inventions affairs, the Ministry of Arms, (he
directed) a number of complex Propositions on development of a space-rocket
science and technics which have found realization. Since 1945 by the
Credencials (Mandate) from the President of the Science Academy of the USSR participated in a preparation of Decisions of Presidium of Academy and the Government on
development of a rocket science and technics in the USSR, concerning jet arms,
on realization of the Propositions. In 1946 he participated in calculations and
flying tests of the first multi-stage solid fuel rockets on the Red Banner Artillery Range. He worked on graduating the Moscow Aviation Institute in
1948, as the leading scientific employee, the head of some complex works at the
Central rocket head Institutes-4 of the Artillery Sciences Academy (Ministry of
Arms), and Central research space means Institute-50 (МA) with participation of some others research, design organizations
and rocket ranges.
Worked in legendary Tikhonravov group since its formation above problems of
creation and perfection of space-rocket means, rocket packages, rocket and
starting complexes, the ground equipment, test rocket ranges, tactic-technical
requirements to them.
Has developed Propositions and the Program of creation of artificial satellites
of the Earth, the Propositions on subjects, the program, structure, financing
of space-rocket institute, etc. Has proved and has lead for the first time
complexes of researches on gas-dinamics and dynamics of start of rockets of
various types and purposes, on wave structure, methods of calculation,
modelling. Has developed and used tens experimental automated installations for
studying supersonic cold and high heated single compound gas jets and their
influence on barrier; to a substantiation of starting devices and starting
constructions, equipments, programs, techniques flying tests of rockets and
space vehicles. Has lead on firing stands and at start-up of rockets of the
test, allowing to reduce the sizes and cost of launchers for rockets-carriers
in tens times.
Was the participant and the head of complex starting measurements and their
analysis in structure of fighting calculations at 150 start-up of
rockets-carriers of 17 types with ten ground and mine starting complexes and
launching pads of three rocket proving grounds (poligones), including at starts
of many first intercontinental rockets, also at Jury Gagarin's flight, at
start-up of the first Lunar rockets, geophysical rockets, rockets with dogs,
rockets-carriers under program InterCosmos, etc. Its works directly promoted
creation of a space-rocket board of the USSR, the CIS, Russia, to prevention of
III world war, promoted a priority of the USSR in studying and an outer space
exploration, have allowed to receive significant economy of means experts is
estimated in billions roubles (by old calculation) and time at creation of
systems of rocket and space arms √ objects of paramount state
importance, have the high scientific practical importance.
His researches and developments in the field of a space-rocket science and
technics, are published in hundreds scientific reports, clauses, monographies,
branch directories, complex offers, materials of applications for inventions
and openings, discuveries, presented at interdepartmental exhibitions of the
best inventions.
