Kansas Cosmosphere
This working model of the ORM-1 rocket engine resided in the office of the engine's designer, Valentin Glushko, for many years. It is believed to be one of the only remaining examples of the first Soviet liquid- fueled engine.
In 1972 Glushko presented the unit to Boris Chertok on his 60th birthday as a tribute to Chertok's important contributions to the Soviet space effort. Chertok was a leading member of Korolëv’s design group.
In 1996 the Cosmosphere acquired this important artifact from the family of Boris Chertok.
