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

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.
