  • THE SOVIET MOON PROGRAM in the 1960S, the United States Was Not the Only Country That Was Trying to Land Someone on the Moon and Bring Him Back to Earth Safely
    AIAA AEROSPACE M ICRO-LESSON Easily digestible Aerospace Principles revealed for K-12 Students and Educators. These lessons will be sent on a bi-weekly basis and allow grade-level focused learning. - AIAA STEM K-12 Committee. THE SOVIET MOON PROGRAM In the 1960s, the United States was not the only country that was trying to land someone on the Moon and bring him back to Earth safely. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, also called the Soviet Union, also had a manned lunar program. This lesson describes some of it. Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS): ● Discipline: Engineering Design ● Crosscutting Concept: Systems and System Models ● Science & Engineering Practice: Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions GRADES K-2 K-2-ETS1-1. Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool. Have you ever been busy doing something when somebody challenges you to a race? If you decide to join the race—and it is usually up to you whether you join or not—you have to stop what you’re doing, get up, and start racing. By the time you’ve gotten started, the other person is often halfway to the goal. This is the sort of situation the Soviet Union found itself in when President Kennedy in 1961 announced that the United States would set a goal of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth before the end of the decade.

Inspector of the public order department of the DPA HNPU in Kherson region (Kherson, Ukraine) E-mail: [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1842-2506 In the article, the authors reveal the historical and legal aspects of space activities in Ukraine. The historical and legal acts of the Ukrainian SSR and the Soviet Union, regulating the space industry, are analyzed. Considerable attention was paid to the peculiarities of legal regulation of the activities of the main space design bureaus of the time. It is concluded that the space activities of the USSR — in general and the Ukrainian SSR were provided on the basis of sublegislative normative legal acts (resolutions of the Council of Ministers and orders of the Central bodies of the Communist party). However, the lack of the national space law was offset by systematic and full funding of space activities, resulting in the Soviet Union having a powerful space industry. In the conditions of modern development, Ukraine has all the opportunities to achieve significant development of the space industry, using the positive experience of the USSR and opening access to space activities of private investment. Keywords: space activities, law, space law, space technologies, private investments, Soviet regime, launch vehicles Received: September 11, 2019; accepted: October 07, 2019 Advanced Space Law, Volume 4, 2019: 116-124.

    Glossary of Institutions of the Soviet Space Program by Slava Gerovitch, MIT <[email protected]> Online supplement to the book Voices of the Soviet Space Program: Cosmonauts, Soldiers, and Engineers Who Took the USSR into Space (Palgrave Macmillan, 2014) Academy of Sciences: an elite research society that controls a vast network of research institutes, including the Institute of Space Research. The Russian Academy of Sciences was established in 1724. In 1925, it was renamed the USSR Academy of Sciences. In 1991, the Russian Academy of Sciences was reestablished as the highest scientific institution of Russia. In 1967 the Academy formed its own group of cosmonauts, currently defunct. Air Force Academy: founded in 1940 as the Military Academy of Command and Navigator Cadres of the Air Force in Monino near Moscow, on the basis of a division of the Zhukovskiy Air Force Academy. It functioned as the Air Force Academy (1946-1968) and the Gagarin Air Force Academy (1968-2008). In 2008 the Gagarin Academy merged with the Zhukovskiy Air Force Engineering Academy to form the Zhukovskiy and Gagarin Air Force Academy in Monino near Moscow. Air Force Engineering Academy (Moscow): founded in 1920 as the Zhukovskiy Institute of Engineers of the Red Air Fleet. It functioned as the Zhukovskiy Air Fleet Academy (1922-1923), the Zhukovskiy Air Force Academy (1925-1946), the Zhukovskiy Air Force Engineering Academy (1946-1998), the Military Aviation Engineering University (1998-2002), the Zhukovskiy Air Force Engineering Academy (2002-2008).

  • The Soviet Manned Lunar Program
    THE SOVIET MANNED LUNAR PROGRAM THE SOVIET MANNED LUNAR PROGRAM EDITED & COMPILED BY MARCUS LINDROOS ABSTRACT (Note: This document may be freely copied and distributed, as long as the name of the editor as well as the list of contributing authors in the REFERENCES section is included) Twenty years after the first American moon landing, on August 18, 1989 the USSR officially acknowledged the existence of their manned lunar program with an initial release of information by the Soviet newspaper Izvestija. An increasing number of photographs and blueprints of Soviet lunar hardware have become available to Western analysts and space observers. It is now clear that personal rivalries, shifting political alliances and bureaucratic inefficiencies bred failure and delays within the moon program. There was strong competition between research teams and laboratories. This internal competition and the low budget for manned exploration of the Moon explains the failure of Soviet technology against the successful American Apollo program. This paper summarizes the Soviet manned lunar program in the light of the latest findings published in the West. RED STAR IN ORBIT Soviet capability in space became clear to the world in October 1957, when the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite. The effect it produced in the United States varied between shock and panic. A month later, the Soviets launched Sputnik 2 - a much heavier satellite carrying a dog, Laika. Subsequent surveys revealed that within months nearly all Americans had heard of Sputnik. Press reaction discussed the Soviet satellites in terms of American prestige, and its scientific and military reputation being at stake.

    PALGRAVE STUDIES IN THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY James Rodger Fleming (Colby College) and Roger D. Launius (National Air and Space Museum), Series Editors This series presents original, high-quality, and accessible works at the cut- ting edge of scholarship within the history of science and technology. Books in the series aim to disseminate new knowledge and new perspectives about the history of science and technology, enhance and extend education, foster public understanding, and enrich cultural life. Collectively, these books will break down conventional lines of demarcation by incorporating historical perspectives into issues of current and ongoing concern, offering interna- tional and global perspectives on a variety of issues, and bridging the gap between historians and practicing scientists. In this way they advance schol- arly conversation within and across traditional disciplines but also to help define new areas of intellectual endeavor.
