ABSTRACT OF THE BOOK. Vladimir Nikolayevich Chelomey (1914–1984) – one of the founders of Soviet rocketry and cosmonautics, a prominent Soviet scientist in the field of mechanics and control Processes, general designer of complexes with cruise and ballistic missiles, space systems, stations and vehicles, was perhaps the most secret Soviet scientist, this fact imposed a severe taboo on his public life and work. Grandiosity and versatility of objectives, which he solved, as well as his unique giftedness, often introduced complexity and even drama in his bright creative destiny, which, despite all blows and temptations, was crowned with remarkable achievements. The book is written with the use of materials and documents of JSC MIC Mashinostroyenia, Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center, Russian State Archive of economics, archives of Russian Academy of Science and Bauman MSTU and supplemented by photographs, some of them published for the first time.
