Vasily Pavlovich Mishin ((ロシア語:Василий Павлович Мишин)) (January 18, 1917 – October 10, 2001) was a Soviet engineer and a prominent rocketry pioneer. Mishin was a Soviet rocket scientist and one of the first Soviet specialists to see Nazi Germany’s V-2 facilities at the end of World War II. He worked with Sergey Korolev as his deputy in the development of the first Soviet ICBM as well in the Sputnik and Vostok programs. Mishin was an engineer who had served as Korolev's deputy and right-hand man. He became head of Korolev’s OKB-1 design bureau and Chief Designer after Korolev's death in 1966. He inherited the N1 rocket program, intended to land a man on the Moon, but which turned out to be fatally flawed (partly due to lack of adequate funding). In May 1967, Yuri Gagarin and Alexey Leonov criticised Mishin's "poor knowledge of the Soyuz spacecraft and the details of its operation, his lack of cooperation in working with the cosmonauts in flight and training activities" and asked Nikolai Kamanin for him to be cited in the official report into the Soyuz 1 crash, which killed Vladimir Komarov.〔Kamanin Diary, May 5, 1967〕 In 1974, Mishin was replaced by a rival, Valentin Glushko, after all four N-1 test launches failed. He continued his educational and research works as the head of rocket department of Moscow Aviation Institute. Vasily Mishin was awarded the title Hero of Socialist Labor for his work with the Soviet space program. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vasily Mishin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
