Overview

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sergey Pavlovich Korolyov (often transliterated Sergei Korolev), (Russian: Sergej Pavlovi Korolv; Ukrainian: Sergij Pavlovy Korol'ov), (January 12 1907, Zhytomyr - January 14, 1966, Moscow), was the head Soviet rocket engineer and designer during the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union in the 1950s and 1960s. He is considered by many as the father of practical astronautics. Although Korolyov was trained as an aircraft designer, his greatest strengths proved to be in design integration, organization and strategic planning. A victim of Stalin's 1938 Great Purge, he was imprisoned for almost six years, including some months in a Kolyma gulag.
