- Answered my own question by checking the references… Not sure we’re allowed copying this information in the article per se, so I’m leaving it here…
- “FIRSOV, Georgy F. (1917-1960) Russian rocket engineer.
- “Firsov designed and tested rockets for the wartime Design Bureau, developed a high-capacity liquid propellant for rocket engines, and guided flight tests of engines for carrier rockets of artificial satellites and “Vostok” spaceships. Firsov was killed during a rocket test in 1960.”
