Preparations for the launch of the Soyuz TMA-12M manned spacecraft are underway at the Baikonur Cosmodrome.

The crew consists of Oleg Artemyev, Alexander Skvortsov and Stephen Swanson.

There are only a few days left before the start.

The crew will make the 119th manned flight of the Soyuz spacecraft and the 38th flight to the ISS, conduct 50 scientific experiments during 175 days of the expedition and return to Earth in September, handing over the orbital watch to their understudies.

On November 15, 1988, the superheavy rocket Energia with the Buran ship was launched from Baikonur.

As it turned out, this was the first and only flight of the ship that was ahead of its time.

Alexander Kozlovtsev, the leading engineer of the Buran spacecraft, Leonid Kadenyuk, the test pilot, Yuri Semenov, the chief designer of the Buran, Oleg Baklanov, the former Minister of General Mechanical Engineering of the USSR, Sergey Sergeev, a participant in the launch of the Energia-Buran system, Oleg Ostapenko, the head of Roscosmos, recall the creation of the Energia-Buran system and the historic launch.

The construction of the Russian segment of the ISS continues.

In mid-2014, the node module (UM) will go into orbit.

The multipurpose laboratory module "Science" is at the final stage of preparation.

The training of the Soyuz TMA-12 M crew is coming to an end in Star City.

Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Artemyev have been working together for two years.

Skvortsov will go into orbit for the second time, for Artemyev it will be the first flight.

The crew's call sign is "Cliff".

Natalia Burtseva's report, interview - cosmonauts Alexander Skvortsov, Oleg Artemyev, Vasily Tsibliev.

In the Sayan Mountains at an altitude of 2000 meters there is a place that scientists call the standard of the highest purity of air.

There is a unique scientific observatory where the Sun is studied.

A variety of telescopes - optical, spectrographs, radiophysical, radars - are aimed at our luminary.

Astronomers are trying to predict what surprises the star closest to Earth has prepared for us, and to unravel the mysteries of the Sun.

The plot starred employees of the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences Viktor Grigoriev, Vasily Pulyaev, Alexander Mordvinov, Sergey Lesovoy, Vladimir Polyakov.

Russia celebrated the 80th anniversary of the first cosmonaut - Yuri Gagarin.

Solemn events were held on Smolensk land, the birthplace of the space pioneer, in which cosmonauts of different generations took part.

The plot starred Alexey Leonov, Viktor Gorbatko, Boris Volynov, Valery Bykovsky, Oleg Ostapenko.

The working day of engineers of the Institute of Biomedical Problems (IBMP RAS) begins with physical exercises.

New types of simulators for astronauts are being tested at the IBMP. Playing sports on the ISS is the key to rapid adaptation to gravity after returning to Earth.

Cosmonauts Sergey Ryazansky, Mikhail Tyurin, Fyodor Yurchikhin, Yuri Lonchakov, Oleg Kononenko, Oleg Novitsky, Alexander Misurkin were filmed in the plot; Nikita Himoroda, Chief Specialist, Leading Engineer of the Service of the Chief Designer of the IMBP RAS, Evgenia Yarmanova, Deputy Chief Designer, Inesa Kozlovskaya, head of the Department of Gravitational Sensorimotor Physiology.

The plot is about the operation of the GLONASS satellite communication system, about the application of the system in everyday life, as well as in the space and military industries.

Interview: Rudolf Bakitko, Grigory Stupak, Vitaly Sernov, Sergey Savelyev, Igor Korotchenko.

In 2015, an annual expedition to the ISS by Mikhail Kornienko and Scott Kelly is planned.

The main task of the experiment is to test the organism with the expectation of expeditions to other planets.

Our cosmonautics has a lot of experience in such missions.

The first were Vladimir Titov and Musa Manarov, in December 1988 they returned to Earth from an annual business trip to the Mir station.

And the unsurpassed record holder for permanent stay in orbit remains cosmonaut and doctor Valery Polyakov, for scientific purposes he worked in orbit for 438 days.

Interview: cosmonauts Vladimir Titov, Alexander Volkov, Fyodor Yurchikhin, Boris Morukov, Valery Polyakov, Sergey Krikalev, Mikhail Kornienko.
