Tsiolkovskys works on space conquest
Konstantin Tsiolkovskys early works on space conquest. Tsiolkovsky (1857-1935) was a Russian rocket pioneer. Although he never built a rocket, Tsiolkovskys work was highly influential in the development of Soviet rocket and space technology. He became deaf after contracting scarlet fever at around the age of 10 and from then on he schooled himself, mainly from books in his fathers library. He determined that the Earths escape velocity was 8 kilometres per second and showed that this could be achieved using liquid-fuel rockets. He predicted many aspects of space travel, including double-walled hulls for meteor protection and the problems of weightlessness

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Konstantin Tsiolkovsky's early works on space conquest, highlighting the immense impact he had on Soviet rocket and space technology. Born in 1857, Tsiolkovsky became a Russian rocket pioneer despite never physically constructing a rocket himself. His journey into the realm of space exploration began after he contracted scarlet fever at the tender age of 10, which left him deaf. Undeterred by this setback, he embarked on a self-guided education using books from his father's library. Tsiolkovsky's groundbreaking contributions to the field cannot be overstated. He calculated that Earth's escape velocity was approximately 8 kilometers per second and proposed liquid-fuel rockets as a means to achieve it. Moreover, his visionary predictions encompassed various aspects of space travel such as double-walled hulls for meteor protection and the challenges posed by weightlessness. The monochromatic image transports us back in time to witness Tsiolkovsky's mathematical prowess and physical diagrams that laid the foundation for future advancements in rocket science and space exploration. It serves as a testament to his genius and enduring legacy within the scientific community. Displayed against an historical backdrop of early 20th-century Russia, this photograph offers a glimpse into Tsiolkovsky's writings, plans, and diagrams that shaped the history of cosmonautics. Preserved within the walls of Tsiolkovsky State Museum of Space Conquest, these artifacts stand as reminders of humanity's relentless pursuit to conquer outer space beyond national boundaries or commercial interests – truly embodying mankind’s thirst for knowledge about our universe.
