Putin’s ‘Rocket man’ Vladimir Nesterov dies, aged 74.

 




He pioneered the new 'world's best' Angara rocket and was the former general director of the Khrunichev Centre, which Putin hoped would facilitate Russia's first manned mission to the moon.  Since 2014 he has faced persistent allegations of fraud and embezzlement and was under house arrest pending further investigation.
