About

The Serhiy Pavlovych Korolyov Museum of Cosmonautics (Ukrainian: Музей космонавтики імені Сергія Павловича Корольова) is a technology museum in Zhytomyr, Ukraine, dedicated to Serhiy Korolyov. Korolyov led the Sputnik project and was chief engineer for the Soviet Union's rocket and space program from the late 1950s until his death in 1966. He was born in Zhytomyr, then part of the Russian Empire (now Ukraine). In 1970, the house in which Korolyov was born was dedicated as a memorial to him, a campus of the Zhytomyr Regional Museum. The museum achieved independent status in 1987, and the present museum building was constructed in 1991. The museum houses around 11,000 exhibits related to rocket and space exploration, including the Soyuz 27 descent module, a small sample of lunar soil, full-size replicas of a complete Soyuz spacecraft, the Vostok 1 descent module, and the Lunokhod 2 lunar rover. From 2013, 2.5 million visitors have passed through the museum's doors. Next to the exposition space, a rocket launches a geodetic version of the missile R-5 (8A62) (the rocket P5 was the first to carry a nuclear charge, and the last one to upgrade the A4 (Fau-2 missile) and the R-12 missile (8K63...

There are mock-ups of the lunar module E from this program, which was developed in the Dnipro in Yuzhnoe

The layouts of the rocket N1u are comparable to Saturn V

There is a wire tape recorder Malysh-B (main designer Babich A.I.) with automatic start from the thing, and the possibility of blocking control. It was developed for the monthly program – a spacesuit krechet-94. Such a tape recorder and its modifications Malysh-BM was used later in the flights of astronaut Beregovoi.
