AUTHOR

Tsiolkovsky, Konstantin E.

SUMMARY

Konstantin Tsiolkovsky is recognized throughout the world as the father of astronautics. He was largely self-educated and in later life worked under extremely difficult conditions in an atmosphere that combined indifference with hostility and ridicule. But his extreme dedication to the idea of space flight never left him. Tsiolkovsky was 60 years old when the October Revolution of 1917 took place, yet most of his scientific papers were written after the revolution. At the time of his death in 1935 they exceeded 500.The tremendous advances of soviet science and technology culminated, in 1957, in the world's first spacecraft ? Sputnik I, thus bringing to fruition the prophetic ideas of the great Russian pioneer of astronautics.This volume contains a selection of some of Tsiolkovsky's more important scientific works.Tsiolkovsky, Konstantin E. is the author of 'Selected Works of Konstantin E. Tsiolkovsky' with ISBN 9781410218254 and ISBN 1410218252.
