Sergei Korolyev
In the 1950s and 1960s Sergei Korolyev served as chief designer of Soviet space vehicles, including the first artificial orbiting earth-satellite, Sputnik 1. Because of his role in developing Soviet rockets during the Cold War, many of his accomplishments remained secret until his death in 1966.
