International Day of Human Space Flight

  Today, Russia and many other countries around the world are celebrating Cosmonautics Day. On April 12, 1961, Soviet officer Yury Gagarin paved the way to space for humanity. His flight became a great triumph for our Motherland, for all of our people. I would like to extend my sincere greetings to all citizens of Russia and our compatriots and cosmonauts, all those who work in the rocket and space industry and, of course, the veterans and military personnel in the Aerospace Forces of Russia, who are performing their duty in the special military operation. Our country has its own unique approaches to achieving its defence goals and conducting space exploration and research. They were established by the intensive work of many generations of technicians, engineers, and scientists, the organisational genius of Korolyov, Glushko, Tsander, Barmin, Keldysh, Pilyugin and many others whose names it is impossible to mention in one brief address. Our victories –both in space and on Earth – a...

 On the eve of the 62nd anniversary of the first manned flight into space, the main international party was held, where everyone could get closer to the stars! This year, cosmonauts, scientists, journalists, artists, designers and businessmen took the stage to share their valuable knowledge and answer dozens of interesting questions from the audience. The main goal of Yuri's Night is to show the vastness of professions in astronautics and tell about the value of everyone's contribution to the development of the industry. In 2024, the program will be even richer and cooler! Waiting for you!                                              

Pay your respects to legendary Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, the first person to be sent into space. Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was famously the first human in space and this achievement is recognised with this statue, depicting Gagarin in his spacesuit, standing astride the globe.

A vast universe that represents unseen and imagined possibilities, the cosmos has long been a source of inspiration and discussion for artists, philosophers, and scientists alike. With full-color images every week, this wirebound engagement calendar is perfect to carry with you wherever you go. Comes with a durable cover and handy pocket.

Artemis II will be the first flight with crew aboard NASA’s deep space exploration system: the Orion spacecraft, Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the ground systems at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. During their mission, four astronauts will confirm all of the spacecraft’s systems operate as designed with people aboard in the actual environment of deep space, over the course of about a 10-day mission. The Artemis II flight test will pave the way to land the first woman and next man on the Moon on Artemis III. More details about Artemis II Introducing the crew of our Artemis II Moon mission , lighting up an Artemis rocket engine, and a new image of a distant planet. A few of the stories to tell you about – This Week at NASA!
