  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.

At that time there were designers making artillery rockets, anti-aircraft rockets, sounding rockets and short range ballistic missiles, so he chose to work with the designer building the biggest rockets, as they would be the best bet to make the first rocket to launch a satellite.
Korolev would arrive at the fence gate in his car and pick up his engineers to take them beyond the fence to watch the launch from a better vantage point.
The design bureaus made project proposals to the Politbureau, Khruschev, and Central Committee of the Communist Party, but the Politbureau and Central Committee "never made any decision, not even for one Ruble", without asking many Chief Designers and Academicians for their support of a project.

 Korolev, Sputnik, and The International Geophysical Year
Korolev himself was very conscious of the fact that an official decree on the project had yet to be issued, which meant that a rocket was still not officially available for the project.
Korolev was so subsumed by euphoria that he stayed awake until three in the morning speaking to his deputies and aides about the great possibilities that had opened up, the future, and mostly about his artificial satellite.
Korolev, of course, kept close tabs on the development of PS-1 and continuously saw to it that the spherical satellite was kept spotlessly clean and shiny not only for its reflective qualities, but perhaps also for its overall aesthetic beauty.

In 1955 Bereznyak received an assignment to design an anti-ship missile suitable for arming small warships, which became the P-15 [SS-N-2 'Styx'] missile that was widely deployed by the Soviet Navy and exported to client states.
To replace the P-15 family of missiles, in 1973 MKB Raduga began designing the 3M80 Moskit [SS-N-22 'Sunburn'] ramjet-powered supersonic missile, carrying a 300kg warhead to a maximum range of 120km.
During the Soviet era, Raduga began designing and producing networked and autonomous wind turbines for domestic and foreign customers, up to 1,000kW.[19] The first example of a networked wind electricity generating facility in Russia is to be the Kalmytskaya wind power plant using 22 Raduga-1 wind turbines.
