Shooting some scenes from a new feature film about S.P. Korolev took place at RSC Energia

Cycle of shooting operations to create a new feature film entitled "General Designer" devoted to the activities of academician S.P. Korolev, General Designer of rocket-space systems and the founder of practical cosmonautics and this enterprise, has been completed at S.P. Korolev Rocket Space Corporation Energia.

The film covers the period from 1947 till 1965 when under Sergei Pavlovich's direction the first national long-range ballistic missiles were built; the groundwork for the national rocket-nuclear shield was laid; activities had been conducted resulting in start of space age for mankind and era of human space flights. The film director, script writer, producer is famous man of cinematic art Yu.V. Kara.

Korolev's daughter Natalia Sergeevna, RSC Energia specialists and veterans took part in literary script of the film. Many of their wishes were taken into account in the film which made it possible to show many-sided personality of the General Designer as the purposeful man - the creator of new technology, outstanding scientist, great engineer and first-rate organizer, on the one hand, and as the strong-willed, responsible, optimistic, considerate man, very attentive to his associates and other people, on the other hand.

The exhibits displayed in RSC Energia museum and the Center for Technologies Development and Personnel Training were striking illustration of the past epoch during shooting the film about the General Designer which confirmed a possibility to bring back the memories of the past using the art of the cinema, to make a film version of the beginning of national rocket technology and cosmonautics development. Among these exhibits there were full-scale mockups of the pioneer national ballistic missiles, the first artificial Earth satellites, descent module of space vehicle Vostok flown by the world's first cosmonaut Yu.A. Gagarin; descent module of space vehicle Voskhod-2, from which A.A. Leonov went out to perform his historical space walk in outer space; full-size mockups of Vostok and Vokhod space vehicles and many other things.

In the course of shooting operations performed at RSC Energia, the scenes were filmed in which S.P. Korolev was monitoring manufacture of the first artificial Earth satellites and their prelaunch processing, launch, as well as the flight of Vostok space vehicle with the world's first cosmonaut Yu.A. Gagarin onboard; prelaunch processing and flight of space vehicle Voskhod with cosmonauts A. Leonov and P.  Belyaev onboard; A. Leonov going out from the vehicle into open space and returning back to it, as well as other scenes showing painstaking efforts of the enterprise team and its achievements in creating and testing new rocket and space technology.
