The great cosmologist Boris Chertok died

World-famous scientist Boris Chertok died when less than two and a half months later came the birthday of a centenarian birthday.

On December 14 in Moscow, the great researcher Chertok - a close colleague of genius engineer Sergei Korolev - was gone forever.

Boris Chertok's merit for Russian and global space science probably cannot be counted. He became a symbol of the era of great discoveries, groundbreaking inventions in the field of the universe, opening up a glorious new chapter in human history.

Right from the end of World War II, as a member of the Special Committee, Mr. Chertok came to Germany and began studying the world's first ballistic missile model "V2" (Vergeltungswaffe-2). After the war, V2 was a prototype ballistic missile built in the Soviet Union, the United States and other countries.

It was at this time that Boris Chertok began to work closely with Sergei Korolev. During the next few decades, all of his activities were closely linked to the creation of new control systems for missile and spacecraft engines.

Alla Medvedeva The Space Science Secretary, known as ' Korolev Works', said: 'Until the last moment, Boris Chertok still lives in an environment where all events associated with the universe are gathered. His departure left an infinite regret for the world in this era of the universe. '
