Mikhail Yangel, Soviet rocket scientist
Mikhail Yangel (1911-1971), Soviet scientist. Yangel was one of the most important designers of liquid-fuelled rockets in the Soviet Union. He began his career mass-producing intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) at a rocket propulsion centre in Dniproperovsk, but fairly quickly he began to produce his own designs. Amongst the most important of these were the R-12, R-14 and R-36. The facility also produced a number of space launch vehicles

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Mikhail Yangel, a brilliant Soviet rocket scientist whose contributions to liquid-fuelled rockets shaped the course of space exploration. With his piercing gaze and determined expression, Yangel's image embodies the spirit of innovation and scientific prowess that defined an era. Born in 1911, Yangel quickly rose through the ranks as he began his career at a rocket propulsion center in Dniproperovsk. His expertise in mass-producing intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) paved the way for him to develop his own groundbreaking designs. Amongst them were the iconic R-12, R-14, and R-36 rockets that played pivotal roles in advancing Soviet space capabilities. As this monochrome photograph suggests, Yangel was not just an engineer or physicist; he was a visionary who pushed boundaries with his technological advancements. His work extended beyond missile production to include space launch vehicles that propelled humanity towards new frontiers. Yangel's legacy is etched into history as one of Russia's most influential figures in rocket science. This image serves as a powerful reminder of his immense impact on aerospace engineering during the forties and fifties when tensions between superpowers fueled rapid advancements in missile technology. Through this snapshot from Science Photo Library, we are transported back to a time when ingenuity knew no bounds—a testament to human potential and our relentless pursuit of knowledge.
