This chapter discusses Vladimir Nikolayevich Chelomey's work regarding intercontinental missiles, booster rockets and satellites. In 1958, he submitted the “ballistic cruise missile” (KBR) project as an invention. In 1959, he evoked the idea of a spy satellite capable of being propelled by an electronuclear ramjet (EYaRD). In June 1960, he sent patent requests for the “guided ballistic rocket for launch from a submarine”, “guided ballistic rocket” and “cosmic vessel” projects. For the ballistic cruise missile, Chelomey replaced the solid‐fuel engines with liquid‐fuel engines and the wings went over the payload (Raketoplan). The rocket had several versions ranging from 150 to 1,500‐ton at liftoff. Chelomey also mentioned man's flight into space. Then, he presented the ministry with his plans for the Kosmoplan, the Raketoplan, the US guided satellite and the UB‐200 guided warhead.
