Soviet space program
The Soviet space program ( Russian : Космическая программа СССР, Kosmicheskaya programma SSSR ) comprised several of the rocket and space exploration programs conducted by the Soviet Union (USSR) from the 1930s until its collapse in 1991. Over its sixty-year history, this primarily classified military program was responsible for a number of pioneering accomplishments in space flight , including the first intercontinental ballistic missile ( R-7 ), first satellite ( Sputnik 1 ), first animal in Earth orbit (the dog Laika on Sputnik 2 ), first human in space and Earth orbit ( cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin on Vostok 1 ), first woman in space and Earth orbit ( cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova on Vostok 6 ), first spacewalk ( cosmonaut Alexey Leonov on Voskhod 2 ), first Moon impact ( Luna 2 ), first image of the far side of the moon ( Luna 3 ) and unmanned lunar soft landing ( Luna 9 ), first space rover ( Lunokhod 1 ), first sample of lunar soil automatically extracted and brought to Earth ( Luna 16 ), and first space station ( Salyut 1 ). Further notable records included the first interplanetary probes : Venera 1 and Mars 1 to fly by Venus and Mars , respectively, Venera 3 and Mars 2 to impact the respective planet surface, and Venera 7 and Mars 3 to make soft landings on these planets.

The Soviet space program consisted of initiatives within the Soviet Union by competing design groups. Being primarily a military program, it was classified. Sergey Korolyov [1] (also transliterated as Korolev) was the head of the principal design group; his official title was "chief designer" (a standard title for similar positions in USSR). Unlike the US space program , which was mostly open and in public view, announcements of the outcomes of missions were delayed until success was certain and failures were sometimes kept secret. Ultimately, as a result Gorbachev 's policy of glasnost , many facts about the space program (which was heavily connected to the military) were declassified. |

The Soviet space program was a collection of efforts within the Soviet Union conducted by several competing design groups. Being a primarily military program, the early Soviet space program was understandably classified. Sergey Korolyov (also transliterated as Korolev) was the head of the principal design group of the program; his official title was called "chief designer" (standard title for similar positions in USSR). Unlike the U.S. program, which was mostly open, and in public view, announcements of success were delayed until success was certain, and failures sometimes were kept secret. During Gorbachev 's policy of glasnost many facts about the space program (which was heavily interrelated to military space program) became declassified. |
