Release Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Space Race is a BBC docudrama series first shown in Britain on BBC2 between
September and October 2005, chronicling the major events and characters in the
American/Soviet space race up to the first landing of a man on the moon. It
focusses on Sergei Korolev, the Soviet chief rocket designer, and Wernher von
Braun, his American counterpart. The series was a joint effort between British,
German, American and Russian production teams.
We see the results of Wernher von Braun's work on the V-2 for the Nazis at
last years of the Second World War, as both American and Soviet forces race to
capture German rocket technology. When the Americans gain the upper hand by
recovering von Braun and most of his senior staff, along with all their technical
documents and much other materiel, we see Sergei Korolev's release from the Gulag
to act as the Soviets' rocketry expert alongside former colleague Valentin
Glushko, and how he is set to work bringing Soviet rocket technology up to date
with that of von Braun, working with what material and personnel are left after
von Braun's escape to the US.
As the Cold War intensifies, Korolev is asked to build a rocket capable of
carrying a five-ton warhead to America - he designs and constructs the R-7
Semyorka, the first ICBM, and is later allowed to use it to launch the first
satellite, Sputnik 1, quickly following up with the rushed Sputnik 2. Meanwhile,
von Braun struggles to persuade the US government to allow him to launch his own
satellite - after Sputnik's launch and the failure of the US Navy to launch a
Vanguard satellite, he is finally allowed to launch the first American satellite,
Explorer 1.
Both the Americans and Soviets are planning manned space flight, and we see both
sides preparing to do so with the development of the Vostok programme (USSR) and
Project Mercury (USA). As well as basic details about the capsules and their
delivery vehicles, we also see some of the selection and training of the Russian
cosmonauts, and rather less of that of their counterparts in the US. After
difficulties and failures on both sides, the Soviets succeed in putting Yuri
Gagarin into space first, with the Americans putting Alan Shepard up shortly
afterwards.
Both sides now plan to put a man on the Moon - the Americans pull ahead in the
space race with Project Gemini, but then suffer a disaster with the Apollo 1 fire.
Meanwhile, despite a few notable successes such as the first space walk by Alexei
Leonov, the Soviet space programme struggles to keep up amid internal strife.
Glushko and Korolev permanently fall out in an argument about fuel; Korolev turns
to Nikolai Kuznetsov to develop engines instead. Kuznetsov delivers the NK-33,
very efficient but much less powerful than the Americans' F-1. The Soviet program
suffers further blows when Korolev dies during surgery, Gagarin dies in a jet crash,
Soyuz 1 crashes and kills Vladimir Komarov, and the prototype booster for the moon
shot, the N-1 rocket, fails to successfully launch. In America, von Braun has
continuing difficulties with the Saturn V, especially combustion instability in the
large F-1 engine, but these are ultimately overcome almost by brute force at
great expense, and the rocket successfully launches the first manned lunar
mission, Apollo 8, and the first manned lunar landing, Apollo 11. The final
episode finishes with brief textual summaries of the remaining careers of the
various people involved.
