It is a modern research, laboratory training and flight base, where the real training of cosmonauts for space flights is carried out to this day.

ATTENTION! Lists of excursionists (attached) must be provided by mail no later than 60 working days before the date of the visit!

Space and everything connected with it has been fascinating our compatriots for many years, causing many questions and conjectures. Today you have the opportunity to personally visit the birthplace of Russian cosmonautics in order to join its legendary history. The sightseeing tour begins with a visit to the closed territory of Star City, where you will receive information about how cosmonauts are selected and prepared for space flight, you can inspect their equipment in detail and find out what it consists of. You will be told about the complexities and interesting nuances that arise during takeoff and landing, as well as throughout the flight.

This excursion includes a visit to the research and laboratory-training flight base - the cosmonaut training center named after. Yu.A. Gagarin. On its territory you will see:

Analogues of spacecraft of Soviet and Russian production.

Hydrolaboratory, where complex scientific research takes place, as well as briefing for astronauts on performing work outside the spacecraft.

Centrifuge TsF - it is an operating simulator for the selection of astronauts.

The price of an excursion lasting 2 hours is from 1000 rubles. for schoolchildren and citizens of the Russian Federation. Children on an excursion as part of a school group are allowed at least 13 years of age.

In the showroom of the site named after S.P. Queen on an area of 1,300 sq. m presents the history of the development of domestic space technology, developed at the enterprise since the middle of the 20th century, when OKB-1 was created under the leadership of the chief designer Sergei Pavlovich Korolev.

This is the only museum in our country where you can see so many spacecraft that have been in space! Shown here is the spacecraft on which the dogs Belka and Strelka were delivered into orbit and returned to Earth alive for the first time. With your own eyes you will see and touch a unique exhibit - the descent vehicle of the Vostok spacecraft, on which Yuri Gagarin made the first manned space flight on April 12, 1961. You will have the opportunity to carefully consider the Vostok-6 spacecraft, on which the first woman of the Earth Valentina Tereshkova visited space in 1963, look into the world's first multi-seat spacecraft Voskhod-1, on board of which Konstantin Feoktistov, Vladimir Komarov and Boris Yegorov made an orbital flight in October 1964.

Among the exhibits of the site named after S.P. Koroleva - models of the first artificial satellites of the Earth, the first interplanetary automatic stations of the Luna and Venus series. You will get acquainted with a full-scale model of the first international orbital complex "Soyuz" - "Apollo". Of particular interest to visitors is the full-scale model of the base block of the Mir orbital station, which can be viewed from the inside, imagining oneself as an astronaut.

On the site named after S.P. Koroleva is a memorial room of Sergei Pavlovich, where the interior of the study of a scientist and designer is recreated. Here are his personal belongings, photographs, documents of historical value. And the history of the corporation is presented in the Hall of Labor Glory: RSC Energia state awards, as well as unique photographs, biographies and memorabilia of outstanding employees of the enterprise - chief designers and heads of departments, designers, engineers and workers.

In order to feel what real astronauts feel while in orbit, it is not necessary to fly into space. There are several ways to simulate the state of weightlessness on Earth, one of which is a flight on a specially adapted IL-76 MDK laboratory aircraft.

The state of "free flight" is achieved by moving along a special parabolic trajectory: the plane first soars up sharply at an angle of 45 degrees, then goes down, and then weightlessness sets in, the duration of which is 25-30 seconds. During one flight, from 8 to 20 weightless modes are performed. It is absolutely safe inside the aircraft: all walls are upholstered, there are no hard objects, special handrails are installed along the perimeter, which you can hold on to. Experienced instructors and sometimes real cosmonauts, for whom practice is very important, also necessarily take part in the flight.

For short moments of weightlessness, future heroes of space learn to put on a spacesuit as quickly as possible. Interestingly, such trainings were held by members of the very first cosmonaut corps, among whom were the legendary Yuri Gagarin, German Titov, Valentina Tereshkova, Alexei Leonov, and others.

Persons who have reached the age of 18 can participate in the flight. The tour also includes a medical examination, clearance, presentation of a certificate from the Cosmonaut Training Center. Yu.A. Gagarin on the performance of a weightless flight. In addition, you can additionally order photo and video shooting.

Bunkar 42 the only underground bunker museum in the world.

Bunker – 42 is a fortification underground facility, located in downtown Moscow. Right after the USA invented a new weapon of mass destruction - the nuclear bomb, USSR government decided to protect themselves by creating not only a bunker, but their very own bomb. Joseph Stalin was quite clear and strict in his ideas, thus, USSR scientists were obligated to develop a nuclear bomb, as well as, come up with methods of protection from it, in very short time.

In the 1950th the "SMU Mosmetrostroy" company began the construction works of the Bunker. According to the nuclear weapon test taken in 1949, in USSR, the ideal depth of the Bunker should've been no less than 65 meters in order to protect the country leaders from the damaging consequences of a nuclear explosion, in case of the attack.
