When the Sputnik project was first approved, one of the immediate courses of action the <a href="/wiki/Politburo" title="Politburo">Politburo</a> took was to consider what to announce to the world regarding their event. The <a href="/wiki/Telegraph_Agency_of_the_Soviet_Union" class="mw-redirect" title="Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union">Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union</a> (TASS) established precedents for all official announcements on the Soviet space program. The information eventually released did not offer details on who built and launched the satellite or why it was launched. However, the public release is illuminating in what it does reveal: "there is an abundance of arcane scientific and technical data... as if to overwhelm the reader with mathematics in the absence of even a picture of the object".<a href="#cite_note-books.google.com-53">[53]</a> The Soviet space program's use of secrecy served as both a tool to prevent the leaking of <a href="/wiki/Classified_information" title="Classified information">classified information</a> between countries, and also to create a mysterious barrier between the space program and the Soviet populace. The program's nature embodied ambiguous messages concerning its goals, successes, and values. The program itself was so secret that a regular Soviet citizen could never achieve a concrete image of it, but rather a superficial picture of its history, present activities, or future endeavors. Launchings were not announced until they took place. <a href="/wiki/Cosmonaut" class="mw-redirect" title="Cosmonaut">Cosmonaut</a> names were not released until they flew. Mission details were sparse. Outside observers did not know the size or shape of their rockets or cabins or most of their spaceships, except for the first Sputniks, lunar probes, and Venus probe.<a href="#cite_note-ebooks.ohiolink.edu-54">[54]</a> The Soviet military maintained control over the space program; Korolev's <a href="/wiki/OKB-1" class="mw-redirect" title="OKB-1">OKB-1</a> design bureau was subordinated under the <a href="/wiki/Ministry_of_General_Machine_Building" class="mw-redirect" title="Ministry of General Machine Building">Ministry of General Machine Building</a>,<a href="#cite_note-books.google.com-53">[53]</a> tasked with the development of intercontinental ballistic missiles, and continued to give its assets random identifiers into the 1960s.<a href="#cite_note-books.google.com-53">[53]</a> They cloaked the program in a shroud of secrecy; public pronouncements were uniformly positive. As far as the public knew, the Soviet space program had never experienced failure. According to historian James Andrews, "With almost no exceptions, coverage of Soviet space exploits, especially in the case of human space missions, omitted reports of failure or trouble".<a href="#cite_note-books.google.com-53">[53]</a> Dominic Phelan says in the book Cold War Space Sleuths (Springer-Praxis 2013): "The <a href="/wiki/USSR" class="mw-redirect" title="USSR">USSR</a> was famously described by <a href="/wiki/Winston_Churchill" title="Winston Churchill">Winston Churchill</a> as 'a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma' and nothing signified this more than the search for the truth behind its space program during the Cold War.

Since the R-7 was substantially more powerful than any of the US <a href="/wiki/Launch_vehicle" title="Launch vehicle">launch vehicles</a>, he made sure to take full advantage of this capability by

And we face an extraordinary challenge. Our strength, as well as our convictions, have imposed upon this nation the role of leader in freedom's cause. ... if we are to win the battle that is now going on around the world between freedom and tyranny, the dramatic achievements in space which occurred in recent weeks should have made clear to us all, as did the Sputnik in 1957, the impact of this adventure on the minds of men everywhere, who are attempting to make a determination of which road they should take. ... Now it is time to take longer strides – time for a great new American enterprise – time for this nation to take a clearly leading role in space achievement, which in many ways may hold the key to our future on Earth. ... Recognizing the head start obtained by the Soviets with their large rocket engines, which gives them many months of lead-time, and recognizing the likelihood that they will exploit this lead for some time to come in still more impressive successes, we nevertheless are required to make new efforts on our own. ... I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth. No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important for the long-range exploration of space, and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish. ... Let it be clear that I am asking the Congress and the country to accept a firm commitment to a new course of action—a course which will last for many years and carry very heavy costs: 531 million dollars in fiscal '62—an estimated seven to nine billion dollars additional over the next five years.

As a replacement, the circumlunar mission would use a stripped-down <a href="/wiki/Soyuz_7K-L1" title="Soyuz 7K-L1">Soyuz 7K-L1</a> "Zond", while still retaining the Proton UR-500 booster.

The mission was planned to be a three-day test, to include the first Soviet docking with an unpiloted <a href="/wiki/Soyuz_2" title="Soyuz 2">Soyuz 2</a>, but the mission was plagued with problems. Early on, Komarov's craft lacked sufficient electrical power because only one of two <a href="/wiki/Solar_panels_on_spacecraft" title="Solar panels on spacecraft">solar panels</a> had deployed. Then the automatic <a href="/wiki/Attitude_control_system" class="mw-redirect" title="Attitude control system">attitude control system</a> began malfunctioning and eventually failed completely, resulting in the craft spinning wildly. Komarov was able to stop the spin with the manual system, which was only partially effective. The flight controllers aborted his mission after only one day. During the emergency re-entry, a fault in the landing parachute system caused the primary chute to fail, and the reserve chute became tangled with the drogue chute, causing descent speed to reach as high as 40 m/s (140 km/h; 89 mph). Shortly thereafter, <a href="/wiki/Soyuz_1" title="Soyuz 1">Soyuz 1</a> impacted the ground 3 km (1.9 mi) west of Karabutak, exploding into a ball of flames. The official autopsy states Komarov died of blunt force trauma on impact, and that the subsequent heat mutilation of his corpse was a result of the explosive impact.

Retrieved November 16, 2021. <q>Finally, in a field where the United States and the Soviet Union have a special capacity—in the field of space—there is room for new cooperation, for further joint efforts in the regulation and exploration of space. I include among these possibilities a joint expedition to the moon. Space offers no problems of sovereignty; by resolution of this Assembly, the members of the United Nations have foresworn any claim to territorial rights in outer space or on celestial bodies, and declared that international law and the United Nations Charter will apply. Why, therefore, should man's first flight to the moon be a matter of national competition? Why should the United States and the Soviet Union, in preparing for such expeditions, become involved in immense duplications of research, construction, and expenditure? Surely we should explore whether the scientists and astronauts of our two countries—indeed of all the world—cannot work together in the conquest of space, sending someday in this decade to the moon not the representatives of a single nation, but the representatives of all of our countries.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=unknown&rft.jtitle=JFK+Library&rft.atitle=Address+before+the+18th+General+Assembly+of+the+United+Nations%2C+September+20%2C+1963&rft.date=1963-09-20&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jfklibrary.org%2Farchives%2Fother-resources%2Fjohn-f-kennedy-speeches%2Funited-nations-19630920&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ASpace+Race" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-163"><a href="#cite_ref-163">^</a> Stone, Oliver and Peter Kuznick, "The Untold History of the United States" (Gallery Books, 2012), p. 320 </li> <li id="cite_note-spacedaily-164">^ <a href="#cite_ref-spacedaily_164-0">a</a> <a href="#cite_ref-spacedaily_164-1">b</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFSietzen1997" class="citation web cs1">Sietzen, Frank (October 2, 1997). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.spacedaily.com/news/russia-97h.html">"Soviets Planned to Accept JFK's Joint Lunar Mission Offer"</a>.
