UKRAINIANS IN SPACE ENGINEERING

S peaking about Ukrainians’ contribution into creation of rocket and space technology we should remember about scientific basis they used. This basis was created, in part, as early as in the 19th century by our compatriots. They were Olexander Zasyadko (1779-1834) , Kostyantyn Kostyantynov (born in 1817 or 1818), Mykola Kybalchych, who died at the age of 28, Kostyantyn Tsiolkovsky, who came from the glorious Cossacs family of Nalyvaiko, Yury Kondratyuk, who made calculations for the manned flight to the Moon. Americans used these calculations in 1969 when they sent their astronauts to the satellite.

S peaking about the development of rocket and space engineering in the former USSR, the world usually connects this with the name of Academician Serhiy Korolyov, an outstanding creator of the practical space engineering. Many people regard him as a representative of the Russian people. However, Serhiy Korolyov is a Ukrainian.

Mykhailo Yangel created a new direction and his own school in developing rocket and space equipment. He worked in Dnipropetrovsk at “Pivdenmash”.

Valentyn Hlushko was a general designer of rockets. Volodymyr Chelomey headed the creation of the carrier rockets.
