Obituary
Soviet Space Pioneer Boris Chertok Dies At 99
Fonte: Aviation Week & Space Technology Dec. 19 , 2011 , p. 14
Boris Chertok, who led development of flight control systems for rockets and spacecraft from the beginning of the Soviet Union’s program and was the longtime deputy to General Designer Sergei Korolev, died Dec. 14 of pneumonia at home in Moscow.
He was three months short of his 100th birthday.
An aviation expert during World War II, Chertok followed the Red Army into Germany at war’s end to recruit German engineers and learn what he could about their work on the V-2 ballistic missile and other rocket weapons.
Later he joined Korolev at the NII-88 research institute northeast of Moscow, where they began a collaboration that encompassed landmark efforts ranging from Sputnik-1 through the Salyut space stations and N-1 Moon rocket.
In September 1947, Chertok was part of the team that began rocket testing in Kazakhstan, including at the site known today as the Baikonur Cosmodrome.
He continued to work as a consultant to RSC Energia after his retirement, and wrote a four-volume memoir "Rockets and People", which outlines his long career.
