  Sergei Korolyov and Russian UFO Secrets
Under Korolyov's guidance, ballistic and geophysical missiles had been created; first artificial Earth satellites, and artificial Sun satellites, various purpose satellites ("Elektron," "Molniya-1," "Kosmos," "Zond," and others); the spacecraft "Vostok," "Voskhod" -- through the use of which, for the first time in history, mankind's spaceflights and the entry into space were undertaken.
While in prison, Korolyov worked in the"sharashka", a prison for scientists whose brains could be cheaply utilized for the good of the State.
Not only did Korolyov encourage his employees to conduct a search of the object that exploded over the taiga in 1908, but according to some reports, he himself organized one of the expeditions.

In 1929, a 22-year-old airman and aircraft designer, Sergei Korolyov, became acquainted with Tsiolkovsky and was carried away by his ideas of spaceflight.
From then on, Korolyov never parted with these ideas - neither during his early work on rockets in the 1930s, nor during his 7-year stretch in the GULAG on false charges...
All this work was under Korolyov's overall leadership and was part of his masterplan of gradually tackling more and more difficult tasks.

 A Doctor's Visit by Anton Chekhov:
And he was charmed with the evening, the farmhouses and villas on the road, and the birch-trees, and the quiet atmosphere all around, when the fields and woods and the sun seemed preparing, like the workpeople now on the eve of the holiday, to rest, and perhaps to pray.
Probably, as the person of most education in the house, she had been charged to meet and receive the doctor, for she began immediately, in great haste, stating the causes of the illness, giving trivial and tiresome details, but without saying who was ill or what was the matter.
So thought Korolyov, sitting on the planks, and little by little he was possessed by a feeling that this unknown and mysterious force was really close by and looking at him.

Meanwhile, the separate design bureaus headed by Korolyov and his rival Vladimir Chelomey competed fiercely for a lunar mission assignment, either a flight around the Moon or an actual landing.
Finally, in August 1964, Korolyov received the lunar landing assignment, and soon afterward Chelomey was given responsibility for planning a circumlunar flight to be carried out before the 50th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution, which would take place in October 1967.
Korolyov and Glushko, already personal adversaries for many years, had disagreed on the proper fuel for the N1, and they finally decided that they could no longer work together.

Soon it became clear that the gunpowder rocket used for flight-testing the aeroplane-shaped prototypes was a promise in itself.
Sergei Korolyov was soon also arrested on a trumped-up charge and exiled to Kolyma for 10 years.

Karimov and Korolyov were with an intelligence group that scoured Germany for rocket parts.
This showed that an intercontinental missile with a 10,000-kilometre range was only a matter of time and opened up the possibility of launching an orbiting satellite (something that was achieved with Sputnik I in October 1957).
After experiments with dogs in space were successful, Korolyov got the Soviet leadership's support to send a human up.

KOROLYOV, Russia (AP) — A Russian spaceship carrying a U.S.-Russian crew and an Italian astronaut docked Sunday at the international space station, launching a mission that paves the way for the first U.S. space flight to the orbiting outpost since the Columbia explosion two years ago.
American astronaut Phillips will have the key task of observing the condition of the insulating tiles as the Discovery approaches the station by conducting a photo survey of the exterior of the shuttle while it is maneuvering prior to docking.
A dozen men in colorful Italian military uniforms were on hand in Korolyov on Sunday to mark Vittori's arrival at the station, and an Italian flag was draped over a balcony overlooking the monitoring hall.

 Sergey Korolyov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sergey Pavlovich Korolyov (Russian: Серге́й Па́влович Королёв, aka Sergey or Sergei Korolev; December 30, 1906 – January 14, 1966) was the head Soviet rocket engineer and designer during the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union in the 1950s and 1960s.
Unlike his American counterpart Wernher von Braun, Korolev's pivotal role in the Soviet space program was kept a closely-guarded secret until after his death.
In his book The Right Stuff US novelist Tom Wolfe constantly refers to Sergey Korolyov as "the mighty Integral" or "the omnipotent Integral" to characterize him as being the secret mastermind of the Soviets early Space Program.

Liza suffers from heart palpitations at night, and Korolyov's first impression of her is decidedly negative.
It is only later, when he begins to look beyond the young woman's symptoms and tries to understand her illness within the context of her family's wealth, that Korolyov develops a sense of empathy for Liza and her plight.

Korolyov: As for the declaration of a state of emergency there, it cuts both ways.
It is necessary that they be held on December 19th, as was determined by the Russian President's decree and it is also necessary to refrain from provoking their cancellation in view of the ill-considered declaration of a state of emergency.

 Yorkshire CND - Russia Ponders Loss Of Moon Race 30 Years On - 9/7/99
KOROLYOV, Russia (Reuters) - When sending a rocket ship to the moon first became possible, Soviet scientists proposed setting off a nuclear blast there to show the world its scientific prowess.
When the day came that Neil Armstrong was ready to step out of the lunar module Eagle and make his historic walk on the moon, top Soviet scientists and cosmonauts gathered to view the event via a bootleg cable hook-up from Europe.
We had the rockets, the space ship, the crew was ready, but we didn't have Korolyov," said Leonov, who keeps small framed U.S. and Soviet flags flown on Apollo 11 on his office wall.

Sergey Korolyov was the engineer whose genius created the Soviet triumphs of the early "space race," including the Vostok, Lunik, and Voskhod space vehicles.
Faget, 15 years Korolyov's junior and still active to this day, is indeed the nearest American equivalent to Korolyov.
So like Korolyov, Faget remained in the background all those years, invisible to the public but indispensable to NASA, while others appeared on magazine covers and TV broadcasts.

The fact that three sections of the Korolyov Conference were held in the Bauman University should obviously be treated as recognition by the scientific community close to space rocketry of high reputation of the University scientific school in the relevant fields.
Among the three newly organized sections of the Korolyov Conference a prominent place is held by the Section “Ballistic and navigation support, navigation and robotic systems of rocket and space vehicles”.

KOROLYOV, Russia (AP) — An unmanned cargo ship on a vital supply mission docked early Sunday at the international space station, carrying badly needed food for a U.S.-Russian crew that has been forced to ration dwindling supplies.
But officials at Russian Mission Control in Korolyov, just outside Moscow, sought to play down concerns, saying the crew has enough food for another month.
The crew has already been ordered to cut back on meals because of the food shortage, and the ITAR-Tass news agency said that there was no turkey for Christmas dinner.
