Framed Print : Valentin Glushko, Soviet scientist
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Valentin Glushko, Soviet scientist
Valentin Glushko (1908-1989), Soviet rocket scientist. Glushko was one of the most important scientists in the development of the Soviet space programme. His early years after graduation were spent experimenting on liquid-fuelled rocket engines, largely without success. In 1938 he was arrested in one of Stalins purges but, as with so many scientists, allowed to continue his work in prison. He was released before the end of the Second World War and, with the Cold War beginning, enjoyed the vast resources given to rocket research. The engines he designed powered all of the early Soviet space missions, including the first manned orbit of the Earth, in Vostok 1

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Valentin Glushko, a prominent Soviet scientist whose contributions were instrumental in the development of the Soviet space program. Born in 1908 and passing away in 1989, Glushko's legacy as a rocket scientist remains unparalleled. After completing his education, Glushko dedicated himself to experimenting with liquid-fueled rocket engines. Although he faced numerous setbacks initially, his perseverance paid off when his designs gained recognition and propelled him into the forefront of scientific innovation. However, amidst Stalin's purges in 1938, Glushko was unjustly arrested like many other intellectuals of that time. Remarkably, even behind bars, he was permitted to continue his groundbreaking work. Released before the end of World War II and entering an era dominated by Cold War tensions, Glushko found himself bestowed with vast resources for further research on rockets. The engines he meticulously designed became integral components powering all early Soviet space missions including Vostok 1 – which witnessed Yuri Gagarin becoming the first human to orbit Earth. This monochrome photograph captures Glushko's determined gaze and unwavering dedication towards advancing rocket science during a critical period in history. It serves as a poignant reminder not only of his invaluable contributions but also highlights the resilience exhibited by scientists facing adversity under oppressive regimes. Science Photo Library has beautifully preserved this historical moment through their print - immortalizing Valentin Glushko as one of Russia's most influential figures within physics and engineering disciplines.
