The Cosmonautics Museum opened in April 1981 in the stylobate of the monument to the Conquerors of Space on Prospekt Mira — the year that 20 years had passed since the legendary flight of Yuri Gagarin. Since then, it has invariably become a point of attraction for all those who are attracted by space. After a large-scale reconstruction in 2009, the exhibition area increased fourfold, and the collection exceeded 100 thousand storage units, occupying eight halls and a film and lecture hall — now it is one of the largest scientific and historical museums on the planet. Here you can see full-size models of the base block of the Mir station and the Soyuz spacecraft, authentic descent vehicles, the first satellites and famous examples of spacesuits for flights and spacewalks, as well as the personal belongings of cosmonauts. The museum has prepared a rich program for the first month of summer.
Rescue of the out-of-control station
On June 6, the Museum of Cosmonautics will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the mission to rescue the unmanned orbital station Salyut-7 with a lecture, film screening and quest: visitors will be invited to literally live the story of the heroes Vladimir Dzhanibekov and Viktor Savinykh, who took part in the landmark flight of 1985.
Then Soyuz T-13 with the cosmonauts on board launched to the immobilized object so that the crew could manually dock to it and restore its functionality. This was the first manual docking in Russian history with an unmanned station that had lost power and communications, threatening to leave orbit and sprinkle the Earth’s surface with debris. After several days of intense work in extreme conditions, the crew restarted the power system, deployed solar batteries and completely restored the complex.
On June 6, on the anniversary of the memorable event, at 2:00 PM, cosmonaut expert Pavel Gaiduk will give a lecture entitled “Notes from a Dead Station”, and at 3:30 PM, the movie “Salyut-7”, based on the crew’s memoirs, will be shown in the cinema hall. From 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, there will be an interactive quest about the Salyut-7 mission – participants will test their knowledge of the history of spacecraft and memorial items from the museum’s permanent exhibition, as well as about the cosmonauts, the station and work on it.
Russia Day at the Cosmonautics Museum
On June 12, the museum will take part in the Moscow Museum Week event and will be open for free admission. Tickets can be purchased atMos.ru.
From 12:00 to 16:00 at the main entrance you can take part in astronomical observations, organized jointly with the Center for Pedagogical Excellence: through telescopes, guests will examine the heavenly bodies even in the middle of the day. In addition, the museum will host a creative master class, organized by the Rostokino Gallery, thematically related to the holiday and dedicated to the achievements of Russian cosmonautics. Participants will master various artistic techniques and learn many interesting things about space.
At 17:00, a walking lecture will begin at the Memorial House-Museum of Academician S.P. Korolev (a branch of the Cosmonautics Museum). During the walk, visitors will learn the history of the appearance on the map of Moscow of a unique space where the famous Soviet scientist, chief designer of rocket and space systems, lived. You can get on an unusual excursion with tickets to the house-museum andpre-registration.
Exhibitions and “Vinyl Space”
Until June 24, the Museum of Cosmonautics will continue to host the exhibition “12 Minutes and 9 Seconds That Shook the World.” This is a joint project with the Russian State Archive of Scientific and Technical Documentation, dedicated to the sixtieth anniversary of the first spacewalk by Alexei Leonov. It features many exclusive materials, including previously unpublished production drawings of “Product 3KD,” the Voskhod-2 spacecraft. Admission to the exhibition is bytickets to the museum.
Until June 30, the outdoor exhibition “Space Milestones of Designer Semenov” is open, dedicated to the 90th anniversary of Yuri Semenov, President and General Designer of the Rocket and Space Corporation Energia (1989–2005), Hero of Socialist Labor, and Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
At the end of the month, the Memorial House-Museum of Academician S.P. Korolev will once again host an evening of music as part of the Vinyl Space project – this time in honor of the 130th anniversary of the birth of singer and conductor Leonid Utesov, as well as the 120th anniversary of the birth of opera singer Ivan Kozlovsky.
The Museum of Cosmonautics will not ignore Youth Day either: a special festive program is being prepared for June 29, the details of which will be announced a little later.
