Our managers will help you with the organization of the program of stay, with reservation of hotels and transfers in Moscow and any other city of Russia, with the order of railway and air tickets to any destination. You can see all the sights and attractions, along with great guides.In 50-ies of the 20th century before the state Commission, the Soviet leadership has set the task to find a place for the construction of the test site for carrying out of starts of carrier rockets. Of course, the choice of the location treated with the utmost care and adherence to the requirements of secrecy. In the end we chose a fairly large area in the steppes of Kazakhstan.
The first construction of facilities and infrastructure of Baikonur began in 1955.
Primary name Baikonur was the village of Zarya, since 1958, the village of Lenin, 1966, the town of Leninsk. And only in 1995 took its final name of Baikonur.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union the cosmodrome and Baikonur city remained on the territory of the sovereign state of Kazakhstan.
Since 1994, the Russian Federation leases from Kazakhstan, the city and the Baikonur cosmodrome. The rent of Baikonur is more than 3 billion a year.
Today Kazakhstan is in favour of reducing the term of the lease of Baikonur by Russia, which according to the latest documents is dated 2050.
Currently, the population of the town has more than 70 thousand people.
Baikonur city is located in the plain, with high, sloping hills. For 5 kilometers along the city's freshwater flows the Syr Darya river. Syrdarya is not available for constant movement of river vessels, freezes in winter. We can say that the city and the spaceport is in the North of the desert.
For the city and the Baikonur cosmodrome is typical continental climate. Sunny days very much. Summer is long, hot and dry.
Winter is characterized by strong frosts and strong wind. The average temperature in winter -5 to -10 degrees.
In the spring, as a rule, the average temperature is -1 +10 degrees at the beginning of spring and end it already reaches +15, +25 degrees. The summers are hot and dry from may to mid-September. Temperature +25, +35 degrees.

The trip to the landing of the spacecraft "SOYUZ"
For all lovers of space we are pleased to offer another opportunity closer to “cosmic life” and to participate in the trip, during which you will be able to see landing capsule with the astronauts and operations meeting astronauts to Earth.
In operation, the return of Astronauts involved a huge number of people: experts on ballistics, specialists the search and rescue services with a large number of special equipment, helicopters and ets.
The return of astronauts from the orbital station ISS
The descent from the device occurs in several stages. First, remaining on the ISS the astronauts closed the hatches between the station and the manned spacecraft "Soyuz", then there is their disconnection. At an altitude of approximately 140 miles above the Earth "Union" is divided into three compartments: the instrument-aggregate, household and lander, where are the astronauts during landing. When you enter the atmosphere the lander is oriented with the forehead in the direction of movement. Around it by the friction of the air formed a 2000-degree plasma, to a height of 10.5 kilometers the speed of the machine reaches 220 m/s (≈ 790 km/h). At this point, the drogue chute is ejected. The device with the astronauts rotated heavily at planting, and through the window nothing is visible. Fires back brake parachute at the altitude of 8.5 kilometers, and then disposes of the main parachute. In direct contact with the surface of the Earth starts the engine of the soft-landing, it almost completely stops the machine, quenching punch.
In this adventure can take part everyone!
