The "Venera–1” (Venus-1) Automatic Interplanetary Station was a 643.5 kg probe consisting of a cylindrical body 1.05 meter in diameter topped by a dome, totaling 2.035 meters in height. Two solar panels extended from the cylinder, charging a bank of silver-zinc batteries.

Three successful telemetry sessions were conducted, gathering solar-wind and cosmic-ray data near Earth, at the Earth's magnetopause, and on February 19 at a distance of 1900000 km.
On May 19 and 20, 1961, Venera 1 passed within 100000 km of Venus and entered a helio ... Read more »

On January 25, 2011 Russian Post issued a postage stamp devoted to Mstislav KELDYSH, Soviet scientist in the field of mathematics and mechanics.

 

Keldysh's main efforts were devoted to jet propulsion and rockets including supersonic gas dynamics, heat and mass exchange, heat shielding etc. 1959 saw successful testing of the Soviet first cruise missile, which displayed better performance than the Navajo missile being designed in USA at the time.
In 1954 Keldysh, Sergey Korolyov and Mikhail Tikhonravov submitted a letter to the Soviet Government proposing ... Read more »

Problem with a Russian military satellite.
On February 01, 2011 at 14:00 UTC the two-stage "Rokot”, a converted ballistic missile, was launched from Plesetsk Cosmodrome, North of Russia.
The rocket with the help of the "Breeze-KM” upper stage was to orbit the "Geo-IK-2” military research satellite. Russia has problem to contact with the satellite.
A Breeze KM upper stage was supposed to fire twice to propel the satellite to an orbital altitude of 1000 kilometers. Ground experts managed to establish communication with the spacecraft. The satellite is now in the orbit with parameters which differ from the targeted ones. A Commission has been formed to investigate the situation.
