Sergei Korolyov and Russian UFO Secrets (1035 words)
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.
