The Serhiy Pavlovych Korolyov Museum of Cosmonautics (Ukrainian: Музей космонавтики імені Сергія Павловича Корольова) is a technology museum in Zhytomyr, Ukraine dedicated to Serhiy Korolyov. Korolyov led the Sputnik project and was Chief engineer for the Soviet Union's rocket and space program from the late 1950s until his death in 1966. He was born in Zhytomyr, then part of the Russian Empire.
In 1970, the house in which Korolyov was born was dedicated as a memorial to him, a campus of the Zhytomyr Regional Museum. The museum achieved independent status in 1987, and the present museum building was constructed in 1991.
The museum houses around 11,000 exhibits related to rocket and space exploration, including the Soyuz 27 descent module, a small sample of lunar soil, full-size replicas of a complete Soyuz spacecraft, the Vostok 1 descent module, and the Lunokhod 2 lunar rover. From 2013, 2.5 million visitors have passed through the museum's doors.
Next to the exposition space, a rocket launches a geodetic version of the missile R-5 (8A62) (the rocket P5 was the first to carry a nuclear charge, and the last one to upgrade the A4 (Fau-2 missile) and the R-12 missile (8K63) (the first one was developed in the Dniepr) with an engine on high-speed components

There are models of devices:
The Luna-1 model (E-1 No. 4) is the first apparatus that passed the Moon at a distance of 6000 kmA copy of the pennant that delivered the Moon 2 device (E-1 No. 6) to the MoonModel Luna-3E-2A No. 1 of the first apparatus, which photographed the reverse side of the MoonLuna-9 (Е-6 №13) the layout of the first apparatus, which makes a soft landing on the Moon. The Soviet automatic stations brought about 300 grams of the moon's soil, in the exposition there are samples of the moon's soil

There is a wire tape recorder Malysh-B (main designer Babich A.I.) with automatic start from the thing, and the possibility of blocking control. It was developed for the monthly program – a spacesuit krechet-94. Such a tape recorder and its modifications Malysh-BM was used later in the flights of astronaut Beregovoi.

There is an exhibition of the descent device of the Vega program (Veener and Galileo), which in 1985 made a soft landing on Venus and transmitted the signal for 56 minutes. Another part of this program was the study of the comet of Galileo, at a speed of folding 70 km per second.

There is a rocket control unit R-12. It was one of the most massive missiles in the territory of the Soviet Union, and the appearance of these missiles in Cuba caused the Caribbean crisis. It was the first rocket that was developed in the Dnieper.
It was the first rocket that had automatic control.
