Read the text “Sergey Pavlovych Korolyov” and be ready to say about this famous space designer.

                               Sergey  Pavlovych Korolyov.

S.P. Korolyov was born in 1907 in the town of Zhytomyr. His parents were teachers. In his early years little Sergey lived with his grandfather and grandmother in the town of Nizhyn. It was in this town in 1910 that Sergey saw for the first time an aeroplane flying in the sky. In those days the famous Russian pilot Sergey Utochkin was in Nizhyn and made his flights there.

In Nizhyn Sergey learned at home with a teacher. Arithmetic was his favourite subject. In 1922, when he was fifteen years old, Sergey began to study at a vocational building school in Odesa where his favourite mother lived at that time. Korolyov was a very good pupil at that school. He liked mathematics and literature, and he read much. All his life Sergey loved music. For a short time he learned to play the violin.

In 1925 Korolyov began his higher education at the Kyiv Polytechnical Institute where he studied aviation and mathematics. In the evening he had to work  for money. He was a building worker, he worked at the post – office and played very small roles in films. He was a very good student at the Politechnical Institute and he  always found time for his hobby – the construction of gliders.

Two years later Korolyov came to Moscow and began to study  at the Moscow Higher Technical School. In the daytime he worked at home at the design of a new glider.

In 1930 Korolyov finished  Moscow Technical School. He was now an aviation engineer. At the same time he finished the Moscow Pilot School. His interest in rockets was very strong and he decided to study jets and to construct and pilot rocket planes.

The first Soviet rocket on oil went up into the sky on the 7^th of August, 1933. This was a great result for its constructors.

On the 4^th of October, 1957, the first man – made sputnik of the Earth was sent from Baikonur. It was sent the result of thirty years of  hard work. The Chief Constructor was S.P. Korolyov.     

After that the scientist began to work out of idea of the design of the first spaceship. At first dogs were sent into space, and only after many experiments the first cosmonaut in the world – Yu. Gagarin – in the ship “Vostok” went into space on the 12^th of April, 1961. He made one turn around the Earth.
