November 4 turned 50 years since the opening of the monument to the Conquerors of Space And Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics opened an exhibition dedicated to this symbol of the capital and the victory of Soviet science.
In March 1958, an open competition was held for the project of an obelisk dedicated to the first artificial satellite of the Earth. About a thousand layouts, graphic perspectives and drawings were submitted for the competition. The project of the sculptor A.P. Faydysh-Krandievsky, architects A.N. Kolchin and M.O. Barshch won the project, which was brought to life.
The exhibition introduces us to unrealized projects. Unfortunately, it was not possible to find an array of documents from this corpus, so the exhibition presents newspaper photographs of non-winning projects.
Project documentation.
Sergei Pavlovich Korolev believed that his OKB-1 should also take part in this competition. Victor Petrovich Dyumin, an artist of OKB-1, created a competition project under the motto "Granite of Science". This project can be seen at the exhibition. Dark blue stelae support the golden satellite, power and strength emanates from this obelisk. It looks especially strong against the background of the main building of Moscow State University, where the construction of the monument was originally supposed.
Project documentation.
Due to the fact that the installation of the monument was originally conceived next to the high-rise of Moscow State University and the monument to Lenin, the building should not have been higher than Ilyich. The design height of the rocket rushing into the sky was 110 meters. Apparently this was one of the reasons for the transfer of construction to the main entrance of VDNKh, although it is possible that Korolev also played a role in this, at that time he already lived near Prospekt Mira. And from his window there was a wonderful view of the monument, and he visited its construction site quite often.
High relief models.
Several changes were made to the original project. First, the Sputnik at the foot of the monument was replaced by a monument to Tsiolkovsky. Secondly, as you remember, on the monument there are lines of poems by the front-line poet Nikolai Gribachev.
And our efforts were rewarded,
What, overcoming lawlessness and darkness,
We forged fiery wings
his
country
and your age!
This is not an exact quotation of the verses. They were modified and agreed by Sergei Pavlovich Korolev with the author. In the original version, the last line was:
We forged fiery wings
yourself
country
and your age!
How could the monument look next to the building of Moscow State University.
Also, during the construction of the monument, the first astronauts had already visited space and the monument was renamed the “Monument to the Conquerors of Space”. Yes, the design had to be changed. According to the project, the stele was lined with smoked glass, but in order to increase its strength, it was decided to replace it with stainless steel.
Photographs of projects.
At this stage, on the instructions of Sergei Pavlovich, OKB-1 specialists conducted research on the sculpture by Vera Mukhina "Worker and Collective Farm Woman" made of stainless steel, and found signs of corrosion. Therefore, it was decided to make the facing of the new monument from a polished titanium alloy. A total of 600 titanium panels with a total weight of 45 tons were installed.
The installation of the monument to the Conquerors of Space was entrusted to the 21st Assembly Department of the Spetsstalkonstruktsii trust. This trust was familiar to Korolev, so he was engaged in the installation of structures at the Baikonur, Kapustin Yar cosmodromes, built television towers in Moscow, Tashkent, Vilnius.

Assembly of the structure began in 1964. Two teams worked, led by Denisov Mikhail Dmitrievich - the best rigger in the country, the future Hero of Socialist Labor (1966) and Ingelgard Vsevolod Vasilyevich, who led the pre-assembly.

Description
The monument, 107 meters high, is a rocket soaring into the sky, which leaves behind a plume of exhaust gases from engines. On the base of the monument, Yuri Gagarin is depicted climbing the stairs to conquer space. Behind him are the people whose labor made these steps possible. On the base of the monument are the lines of the Soviet writer Nikolai Gribachev.
“... And our efforts were rewarded,
What, overcoming lawlessness and darkness,
We forged fiery wings
To his country and his age!”.
And below the inscription “In commemoration of the outstanding achievements of the Soviet people in the exploration of outer space, this monument was erected in 1964.”. As well as the date of the world's first successful launch of an artificial earth satellite and the date of the first manned flight into space. Under the base of the monument is the Museum of Cosmonautics. And in front of the monument stands a monument to the founder of modern cosmonautics, the Soviet scientist Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky.
History of creation
It was decided to install the monument immediately after the successful launch of an artificial earth satellite. In 1958, a show jumping competition was announced for the best project. And on the seventh anniversary of the launch of the satellite in 1964, the Monument to the Conquerors of Space was solemnly opened.
Monument to the conquerors of space - a unique monument located in the memorial park near the metro station "VDNKh", the second highest among the monuments of Russia. The famous "rocket" was opened on October 4, 1964, on the seventh anniversary of the launch of "Sputnik-1" - the first artificial satellite of the Earth.
The monument is made in the form of a rocket taking off into the sky, behind which a long plume of exhaust gases stretches from the ground, and plays the role of a stylized obelisk in honor of the USSR - a power that opens space for the whole world. Outside, it is completely lined with polished titanium plates, with the exception of the base, in which the sky is reflected. At the base there are high reliefs depicting people who contributed to space exploration: scientists, designers, engineers, workers and, as a result, an astronaut ascending the ladder; not without bright Soviet symbols: the hammer and sickle, as well as Vladimir Lenin, frozen in a characteristic pointing pose. In front of the monument there is a monument to Konstantin Tsiolkovsky as a symbol of the transition from the human to the cosmic scale.
The height of the monument is 107 meters, of which 11 meters is the height of the rocket.
In the central part of the base, the lines of the Soviet writer and statesman Nikolai Gribachev are laid out in metal letters and the dedication is given:
|
"In commemoration of the outstanding achievements of the Soviet people in the exploration of outer space, this monument was erected. 1964" |
On the side walls of the base, anticipating the high reliefs, there are quotes from TASS news reports that tell about the main space achievements of the Soviet Union by the time the monument was erected and a little later.
|
1957: "As a result of the great hard work of research institutes and design bureaus, the world's first artificial Earth satellite was created. On October 4, 1957, the first satellite was successfully launched in the USSR." 1961: "On April 12, 1961, the world's first spacecraft-satellite Vostok with a man on board was put into orbit around the Earth in the Soviet Union." 1965: "... On March 18, 1965, at 11 o'clock Moscow time, during the flight of the Voskhod 2 spacecraft, a man exited the ship into outer space for the first time." 1966: "February 3, 1966 at 21:45 Moscow time, the Luna 9 automatic station, launched on January 31, landed on the surface of the Moon in the region of the Ocean of Storms, west of the craters Reiner and Maria. February 4 at 4:50 Moscow time the Luna 9 station began surveying the landscape and transmitting its image to Earth." 1966: "April 3, 1966 at 21:44 Moscow time, the automatic station Luna 10 was launched into a selenocentric (circumlunar) orbit and became the world's first artificial satellite of the Moon." |
History of the monument
The idea to perpetuate the space achievements of the USSR in a monument worthy of their scale appeared after the launch of the first artificial Earth satellite Sputnik-1 on October 4, 1957.
They decided to mark the opening of the space age with the opening of an obelisk monument, which was supposed to be located on Sparrow Hills. In March 1958, a competition was announced for the best design of the monument, for which more than a thousand works were submitted from 114 cities of the USSR and foreign countries; sifting out frankly unsuitable, the commission chose 356 works that were presented to the public at an exhibition in the Manege. The project "The People-Creator" by the sculptor Faidysh-Krandievsky, the architects Barshch and Kolchin and the engineer Shchipakin came out on top, however, the project was too out of the Vorobyovy Gory ensemble, so they decided to erect a monument in a wasteland at the entrance to.
According to the project, the height of the monument did not exceed 50 meters, and it was proposed to line the train of the rocket with smoky translucent glass with night illumination inside. However, the solution with glass was not the most practical, and at the suggestion of rocket designer Sergei Korolev, they decided to finish it with polished titanium plates, since titanium is not subject to corrosion. Also, in the process of processing the project, the height of the monument increased to 107 meters. Sergey Korolyov played a big role in the construction of the monument: he not only secured the supply of scarce titanium for its construction, but even moved to the Ostankino region in order to personally monitor the progress of construction. On his own initiative, the Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics was included in the project of the monument, which was supposed to be located in its stylobate. As the designer's wife later noted, visiting the construction site became a regular part of their daily walks. Another interesting fact from the history of the monument is connected with Sergey Korolev: initially, among the people in high reliefs at the base, the sculptor Faydysh-Krandievsky wanted to portray the designer himself, but Korolev rejected this idea, considering that there are people more worthy of such an honor.
Curiously, the 250-ton steel structure of the monument was manually assembled and lined on the ground, and then lifted with special cranes.
The grand opening of the monument took place on October 4, 1964 - on the seventh anniversary of the launch of Sputnik-1. After 3 years, a park was laid out around it with a memorial alley of the Heroes of Space, where busts and monuments to the pioneers of rocket science and astronauts were subsequently installed.
On April 10, 1981, on the 20th anniversary of the flight of Yuri Gagarin, the Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics, conceived by Korolev, was opened in the stylobate part of the Monument to the Conquerors of Space.
Currently, the Monument to the Conquerors of Space is one of the most popular attractions in Moscow, and along with the nearby VDNKh, it has become a must-see point on tourist routes. The Museum of Cosmonautics, located under it, deserves no less fame, which is considered one of the most interesting and most advanced museums in the capital.
Monument to the conquerors of space located at Prospect Mira, 111 (not far from the main entrance to VDNKh). It can be reached on foot from the metro station. "VDNH" Kaluga-Rizhskaya line.
