Sculptural Composition "Meeting of Korolev and Tsiolkovsky"

The sculptural composition "Meeting of Korolev and Tsiolkovsky" is installed in Kaluga at the intersection of Tsiolkovsky and Korolev streets and was opened on April 9, 2011. The plot is based on the alleged meeting of the scientists in 1929, the fact of which is disputed by historians. On a low pedestal made of pink granite, to which three steps lead, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky holds a rocket model, Sergei Korolev leans on a chair, and a portable telescope is placed between them. An exact copy of the composition is also installed in the ethnographic park-museum "Etnomir" in the village of Petrovo near Borovsk.
