* The [[Mars]]-based [[space elevator]]s in the Horus Heresy novel [[Horus Heresy (novels)#book9|''Mechanicum'']] by [[Graham McNeill]], set in the ''[[Warhammer 40k]]'' universe, are called "Tsiolkovsky Towers".<ref>{{Citation|last=McNeill|first=Graham|year=2008|title=Mechanicum: war comes to Mars|type=print|others=Map by Adrian Wood|series=Horus Heresy {{interp|book series}}|volume=9|publisher=[[Black Library]]|location=[[Nottingham, UK]]|edition=1st UK|at={{interp|Map:}} "The Tharsis Quadrangle of Mars" {{interp|pp.&nbsp;8–9 (not numbered), context at p.&nbsp;8}}|isbn=978-1-84416-664-0|author-link=Graham McNeill}} Location of "Tsiolkovsky towers" noted in a story-related map, with several mentions in the book's body matter, including pp.&nbsp;218, 368, 370, and others.</ref>
* Episode eight of ''[[Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko]]'' is called "Tsiolkovsky's Prayer".
* "Tsiolkovski" is the name given to an underground facility in a huge Farside crater on the Moon in [[Arthur C. Clarke]] and Stephen Baxter’s science-fiction  ''Sunstorm: A Time Odyssey'' (2005). In the same book the Russian astrophysicist Mikhail Martynov, says: “we Russians have always been drawn to the sun. Tsiolkovski himself, our great space visionary, drew on sun worship in some of his thinking, so it’s said.” Martynov refers to him as „father of Russian astronautics“, and at one time speculates „ No wonder that Tsiolkovski’s vision of humanity’s future in space had been full of sunlight; indeed, he had dreamed that ultimately humankind in space would evolve into a closed, photosynthesizing metabolic unit, needing nothing but sunlight to live. Some philosophers even regarded the whole of the Russian space program as nothing but a modern version of a solar-worshiping ritual.“ (Chap. 42, pp.293-4.)
* In a 2015 episode of ''[[Murdoch Mysteries]]'', set in about 1905, James Pendrick works with Tsiolkovsky's daughter to build a suborbital rocket based on his ideas and be the first man in space; a second rocket built to the same design is adapted as a ballistic missile for purposes of extortion.
