Vladimir Barmin

Vladimir Barmin is a astronomy topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Vladimir Barmin rather than just read about it. In short: Vladimir Pavlovich Barmin (Russian: Владимир Павлович Бармин; 4 March [O.S. 17 March 1909] 1909 – 17 July 1993) was a Russian engineer in the former Soviet space program who is remembered for being the designer of the first Soviet rocket launch complexes in the Soviet space program. An asteroid, 22254 Vladbarmin, was named in his honor.

Key takeaways

Vladimir Barmin belongs to astronomy; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Vladimir Barmin to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Vladimir Barmin from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Vladimir Pavlovich Barmin (Russian: Владимир Павлович Бармин; 4 March [O.S. 17 March 1909] 1909 – 17 July 1993) was a Russian engineer in the former Soviet space program who is remembered for being the designer of the first Soviet rocket launch complexes in the Soviet space program. An asteroid, 22254 Vladbarmin, was named in his honor.

Biography Barmin was born on 4 March [O.S. 17 March 1909] 1909 in Moscow, Russia. He was educated in mechanical engineering topics involving in thermodynamics, refrigeration, compressor and heat exchangers at the MVTU and later specialized in refrigeration from the Moscow Mechanical Institute. Sponsored by the Soviet politician, Sergo Ordzhonikidze, Barmin paid a visit to the United States in 1935–36 to learn about refrigeration to help develop the production of fridges to be widely used in everyday life in Russia. Upon returning to Russia in 1936, Barmin helped establish a factory for domestic production compressor construction and refrigeration engineering. In 1942-44, Barmin was involved in war efforts against Germany and worked on a first Katyusha rocket launcher project for the Red Army. Furthermore, he was involved in developing rocket propellents and compressor for Soviet rockets and artillery ammunitions for the Red army during easter front of the World War II. Over several decades and years of his life, Barmin was associated with the construction of the space launch complexes in the Baikonur Cosmodrome as part of the Soviet space program.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Vladimir Barmin

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Vladimir Barmin claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Vladimir Barmin before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Vladimir Barmin ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Vladimir Barmin

In research: Vladimir Barmin appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Vladimir Barmin in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Vladimir Barmin is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1909 births, 1993 deaths, 20th-century Russian engineers, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Vladimir Barmin outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
