Caption :

OKB-1 Deputy Chief Designer Konstantin D. Bushuyev was the senior person at the design bureau responsible for piloted space programs. His identity was revealed in 1971 when the Soviets announced that he would head the Soviet team participating in the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. This photo dates from early 1972. Founded in 1950, OKB-1 was dedicated exclusively to the development of long-range ballistic missiles. In the 1960s OKB- 1's focus changed to the development of piloted and robotic spacecraft.
