On June 27, 1938, in the height of Stalin's purges, Korolev was arrested and sent to the GULAG camps in Siberia.
On July 27, 1944, the authorities "paroled" Korolev and on Sept. 8, 1945, Korolev traveled to Germany for evaluation and restoration of A-4 ballistic missiles.

 Korolev, Sergei Pavlovich (1907-1966)
Korolev spent months in transit on the Trans-Siberian railway and on a prison vessel at Magadan, followed by a year in the Kolyma gold mines, the most dreaded part of the Gulag.
In September 1953, Korolev proposed the development of an artificial satellite to this committee arguing that the R-7-launched flight of Sputnik 1 would serve as a powerful public demonstration of the Soviet Union’s ICBM capability.
Korolev’s legacy is the town named for him and Energia Rocket & Space Corporation (RCS Energia) – the modern Russian business organization that evolved from Korolëv’s design bureau - which built Mir and is now a partner with NASA in the production of the International Space Station.

 SpaceViews October 1997: Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
While Korolev's superiors were only interested in the military applications of this new technology, Korolev and his closest colleagues always had the dream of spaceflight in the back of their minds.
The intent of this unprecedented international scientific collaboration was to obtain data on Earth's upper atmosphere and its interaction with the Sun during the peak of the next sunspot cycle between July 1957 and December 1958.
As Korolev himself was counting down the final minutes to launch from a bunker 100 meters (330 feet) from the pad, a lone bugler briefly appeared on the concrete apron to blow a long series of trumpet blasts.

 CLIPPERS: Clippers Sign Korolev
Korolev was the 12th overall pick in the 2005 NBA Draft.
The 6’9”, 18-year old Korolev was an early entry candidate in the 2005 NBA Draft and also saw action with CSKA Moscow in Russia’s Superleague A, where he shot.667 from the floor in four games in 2004-05.
The highest Russian draft selection in NBA history, Korolev supplanted the previous high selections of Viktor Khryapa (22nd overall) by New Jersey in 2004, Sergei Monia (23rd overall) by Portland in 2004 and Andrei Kirilenko (24th overall) by Utah in 1999.

 Chapter 20 -- The Russian Space Programs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Korolev was extremely safety conscious and he argued with Nedelin about sending the engineers out to accomplish maintenance on the unstable space vehicle.
While Korolev was working feverishly on the N-1 vehicle, Nikita Khrushchev assigned another design chief, Vladimir N. Chelomei, the task of developing a craft to launch at least one cosmonaut on a circumlunar mission.
In 1963 Korolev began the design of the Soyuz vehicle for the human lunar mission with a target date of 1967 or 1968 for a manned Moon landing.

 DraftExpress - NBA Draft, NCAA/International Basketball Website.
Korolev became a familiar name in draft circles after a very promising performance in the 2003 European Cadet Championships in Rivas, where he averaged 10.4 points and 4.8 rebounds while helping Russia to the bronze medal.
Korolev has already declared himself eligible for the draft after impressing a number of NBA scouts in the Euroleague Final Four Junior Tournament, but his situation facing the upcoming draft, having barely played any senior competition this season (he played something last year), has almost no precedents.
Korolev might be a great investment for a team that's not in a huge rush to improve via the draft, leaving him in Moscow to develop for a couple of years, like Kirilenko did some years ago (although the recent experience of Sergei Monya and his lack of playing time might discourage some team).

 Amazon.com: Korolev: How One Man Masterminded the Soviet Drive to Beat America to the Moon: Books: James Harford   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
A brilliant engineer and superb organizer, Korolev also possessed the cynicism and political cunning necessary to get his work done and protect his staff from a government so paranoid he was forced to work in anonymity, known only as the Chief Designer.
Harford clearly demonstrates that Korolev was literally the indispensable man behind the Soviet space program whose untimely death hobbled the Soviet effort to land men on the moon.
With "Korolev", you follow the rise and fall (to the Gulag), and rise(!) of the man that took on himself to beat the Americans, fighting against the Party, the lack of interest from his leaders, his enemies, and of course, some technological problems.

Korolev's first work was to copy the design of the A4 with Soviet parts and name it the R1, which received it's test launch in 1948.
Sergei Korolev, however, was to die in a botched operation in 1966 and this tragedy together with the fact that there was not to be a final agreement of the full plan for a Soviet to reach the moon until Feb 1967 left the USSR a long way behind in the race for the moon.

 SLAM! HOCKEY: IGOR KOROLEV
Invited to the Leafs camp on a tryout basis in September of 1997, Moscow-born Igor Korolev signed a short-term deal a few days later and rewarded the organization by recording 17 goals and 39 points in 78 games.
Korolev was chosen 38th overall by the St. Louis Blues in 1992, but didn't make a ripple until 1995-96 when he had 51 points in 73 games for the Winnipeg Jets who had previously claimed him on waivers.
Korolev and Jet management began the 1996-97 season in a contract row and when things finally settled, the Russian winger had problems getting his game back on track and could only muster 10 points in 41 contests.

Tikhonravov was transferred to Korolev's bureau in early 1956 after the Party and the Goverment had authorized Korolev to proceed with the development of a satellite.
However, Korolev relied on the advice of Tikhnoravov, his old friend and, by the end of 1957 I was chosen, although it was difficult to leave #385.
It was Korolev's aesthetic as well as engineering sense that had led him to insist on the ball shape for Sputnik 1, although one of the early designs proposed was for a cone-shaped structure.

 : Korolev-- Sputnik   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Discussion of Korolev's satellite proposal before that body, according to a 1992 report by a journalist in a Moscow magazine, was "sharp, the opponents arguing primarily about the tight timing," and "complete agreement was not achieved." Korolev had to go back to the Commission a second time.
With the Commission's nervous acquiescence, Korolev bulldozed the development, in a little more than a month, of a plain, polished 83.6 kg sphere containing only a radio transmitter, batteries and temperature measuring instruments, with the intent to place it in orbit on a rocket which had failed in five of its first six launch attempts.
Korolev invited everyone for the last briefing before the final okay was to be given and the countdown started...It was the first impressive collection of scientific instruments, each of which was reported to be functioning normally.

 Vasili Mishin, Who Led Soviet-Era Moon Race, Dead at 84
As Korolev's right hand, Mishin was responsible for overseeing the design of several generations of rockets, including the first Soviet intercontinental ballistic missile, the R-7.
When Sergei Korolev died unexpectedly in 1966, Mishin found himself at the helm of the project that was plagued with technical problems and unrealistic schedules.
According to many of his associates, Mishin possessed neither Korolev's charisma nor connections, both of which were needed for such a complex enterprise to succeed.

To concentrate on development of the R-7, Korolev¹s other projects were spun off to a new design bureau in Dnepropetrovsk headed by Korolev's assistant, Mikhail Kuzmich Yangel.
This was the first of several design bureaus, some later competing with Korolev¹s, that would spinoff once Korolev had perfected a new technology.
