About Akademik Sergei Korolev
The Akademik Sergey Korolyov (Russian: Академик Сергей Королёв) was a space control-monitoring ship constructed in 1970 to support the Soviet space program. Named after Sergey Korolyov, the ship also conducted upper atmosphere and outer space research. The Akademik Sergey Korolyov was a part of a fleet of communications ships. These ships greatly extended the tracking range when the orbits of cosmonauts and unmanned missions were not within range of Soviet land-based tracking stations. The ship mainly operated in the Atlantic Ocean monitoring spacecraft trajectory and telemetry data as well as guaranteeing a communications link with the cosmonauts. The ship had about 1200 accommodations, including 79 laboratories, in which 188 scientific workers performed their duties. In 1975, the ship was a part of the Soviet-American Apollo–Soyuz joint test program.
