Denis Manturov congratulated Baikonur employees and veterans of the space industry on the 70th anniversary of the cosmodrome.
Today marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the legendary Baikonur Cosmodrome, the place where the practical history of space exploration began. It was here in 1955 that the foundation of the world’s first cosmodrome was laid, which became the starting point for thousands of space launches, breakthrough scientific achievements and heroic expeditions.
From the moment of the first launch to this day, Baikonur remains a symbol of man’s desire to explore space. Behind each launch there is a huge amount of work by people: scientists, engineers, testers, astronauts and other specialists. It is their professionalism, dedication and faith in the dream that made possible those achievements that the entire country and the entire world are rightfully proud of.
On this significant day, we express our deep gratitude to the veterans of the space industry, those who stood at the origins and continue to work for the benefit of domestic and world cosmonautics. Let each launch inspire future generations of researchers and become a step towards new horizons.
Happy anniversary, Baikonur!
