  • the Space Race — гонка за первенство в области космических исследований
  • to compete — соревноваться
  • artificial — искусственный
  • transmitter — передатчик
  • to land — высадить
  • leadership — лидерство

Sergey Korolyov is the most talanted Soviet rocket engineer.  He became famous for his achievements in space research in the period between 1950s and 1960s. Those years were known for the Space Race between the USSR and the United States.  Korolyov had plans to compete with America to be the first nation to land a man on the Moon, but he died in 1966.

Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite, was launced on October, 1957. It was only 53 cm in diameter, and carried only a simple radio transmitter. The transmitter allowed scientists to track Sputnik as it went round the Earth. But the first artificial satellite burned up in the atmosphere 92 days later.

Sputnik 2 was launched on November 3, 1957 and carried the first living passenger, a dog named Laika. But Laika didn’t come back to the Earth as it had not provided.

The next satellite with living beings was Sputnik 5. It was launched on August 19, 1960 with the dogs Belka and Strelka, 40 mice, 2 rats and a lot of different plants on board. The spacecraft returned to the earth the next day and all the animals were safe.

On April 12, 1961 Yuri Gagarin flew into space and spent 108 minutes there. It was one of the greatest events of the 20th century.

Since that time no one has doubted Russia’s leadership in space exploration. The flights into outerspace allows Russian people to learn a lot from space research.
