Leipan biography

The task of his research was to determine the products of chemical reactions in the shock wave. The Lipusky first priority in the world predicted the conditions for obtaining artificial diamonds from graphite: a temperature of at least 2.5 thousand with the outbreak of World War II, O. Leipansky, together with I. They allowed me to fundamentally improve the reactive shells of the Katyusha guards mortars.

The found conditions of stabilization of the combustion of rocket fuel allowed to increase the range of jet shells several times. At the end of the year after the death at the front of his brother Yakov, O. Leipunsky submitted applications to the director of the HIS with a request to discard him and release him to the front. But both times N. Semenov refused, citing the fact that O.

Leipansky was working on the subject of the People’s Commissariat of Munitions necessary for the front. In the year, O. results of research by O. Leipunsky in the c. Leipansky was involved in the work of creating nuclear weapons. He stood at the head of the development of methods for monitoring ionizing radiation that occurs during nuclear and thermonuclear explosions.

During the tests of the first Soviet atomic bomb, on August 29, O. Leipansky was awarded the Order of Lenin and became the laureate of the Stalin Prize of the 2nd degree. For many years, he himself prepared registering equipment, he personally was present during nuclear tests, and after explosions he was engaged in the decoding of data. Leipansky was awarded the second Stalin Prize of the 2nd degree.

Leipansky became an international expert in matters of detecting nuclear explosions and radioactive pollution.

He directly participated in the work of Geneva meetings of international experts on the preparation of an agreement on prohibition of nuclear weapons testing in the atmosphere in the GG. This predicted the conclusion of an international agreement on the termination of all nuclear tests in open media. In the period from to gg. Leipansky returned to the research of solid missile fuels and artillery powders in their own.

A special place in his studies was occupied by work to increase the efficiency of converting the energy of rocket fuel into the kinetic energy of the combustion products exploding from the nozzle. The results of fundamental studies of the school of O. Leipunsky in the field of burning of solid missile fuels and artillery gunpowder were widely used in many technical products and earned well -deserved recognition among specialists.
