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 Stalin's 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

Learning physics

MODEL RELEASED. Learning physics. 4-year-old boy holding a blackboard with the equation E=mc2 on it. This equation relates energy (E) and mass (m) by the square of a universal constant, the speed of light in a vacuum (c). The speed of light has a very large value, and this equation shows both that mass can be converted into energy, and that large amounts of energy can be obtained from small amounts of mass. This is the basis of nuclear power stations and atomic bombs
