Title
Tikhonravov's Satellite Team
Full Description
Mikhail Tikhonravov's famous "satellite team" shown here in a
photo from 1970. It was during 1950-54 that these young men and
women developed the first engineering conceptions of a Soviet
Earth satellite. Based on this important research, Tikhonravov
authored a landmark report on artificial satellites in 1954 that
laid the groundwork for the early Soviet space program. Sitting
from left are: Vladimir Galkovskiy, Gleb Maksimov, Lidiya
Soldatova, Tikhonravov, and Igor Yatsunskiy. Standing from left
to right are Grigoriy Moskalenko, Oleg Gurko, and Igor Bazhinov.
