This book is the first most complete scientific biography of an outstanding domestic scientist in the field of missile technology, the founder of the domestic liquid rocket engineering Academician Valentin Petrovich Glushko. He is the author of many scientific works and inventions, the designer of most engines and motor systems of combat and space missiles, the head of specialized organizations for the creation of LRPs and missiles, the founder of the scientific school of missile engine -structures. Until recently, in conjunctural considerations, his role in the development of domestic and missile technology and biography were not covered or presented in a distorted form. The author on the rich actual and documentary material tried to restore the truth. The book first presents a large amount of photographs, some of which are published for the first time.
The publication is designed for a wide range of readers interested in the history of Russian science and technology.
