The first Soviet cosmonauts to celebrate the new year 1978 in space were Yuri Romanenko and Georgy Grechko at the Salyut-6 station.

The most cheerful earthly holiday in 40 years of manned cosmonautics was met in orbit by 31 cosmonauts and 26 astronauts.

Earthlings can only dream of celebrating the most earthly holiday outside the Earth, crossing one time zone after another, congratulating continents and countries 16 times during the day.

Interview: Elena Serova, Yuri Lonchakov, Yuri Onufrienko, Oleg Novitsky, the family of cosmonaut Alexander Samokutyaev.

The opening of the All-Russian student construction site of the Vostochny Cosmodrome took place in Uglegorsk.

About 500 students from all over the country came to build a new Russian space harbor.

There were so many people who wanted to come to the construction of the cosmodrome that they had to organize a competition, having eliminated almost 2/3 of the candidates.

For the first time in many years, the student construction site received the status of "All-Russian".

Students are full of enthusiasm and believe that it is necessary to invest in their native country and in its future.

Interview: Oleg Ostapenko, head of the All-Russian student construction site "Vostochny Cosmodrome - 2014" Alexander Loza, Acting Deputy Director of "Spetsstroy" of Russia Alexander Mordovets, Dmitry Rogozin.

Human, like all the surrounding nature, owes its origin to the stars.

The six most important elements (hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur) in various combinations make up the majority of all biological molecules on Earth.

Scientists have established that the mechanisms of the origin of life are the same for the entire universe.

This information will allow astronomers to clarify where and when the elements necessary for the emergence of life appeared in our galaxy and, possibly, to determine the "galactic habitable zone".

Interview: Anatoly Zasov, Alexey Rastorguev, Sergey Blinnikov.

The IL-76 MDK is a unique simulator for creating short-term weightlessness.

During these time intervals, it is possible to test people and equipment that will be used in orbit.

After the mandatory pre-flight briefing, testing of parachute systems and special cargo placement, tests in zero gravity and double overload modes begin.

No cosmonaut will go into orbit without these parabolic flights, and as the astronauts themselves note, such training is much more difficult than a real space flight.

The plot of Natalia Burtseva starred Viktor Ren, Anatoly Zabruskov, Sergey Prokopyev and other testers of the cosmonaut squad of the Gagarin Space Center.

For half a century we have been consuming more resources than the planet has time to recreate them, and this is fresh water, oxygen, animal and plant life.

Every year environmentalists report on the so-called "Ecological Debt Day", when the required annual resources are spent much faster.

In 2017, humanity had enough annual resources for only 8 months, and we again became debtors to the Earth.

Do Earthlings have a spare planet?

According to scientists, in order for humanity to no longer live in debt, at least two planets of the Earth are needed, but there is nowhere to take the second planet.

Moreover, today we are not even ready to master our native Solar System.

Scientists Yuri Mazurov, Alexander Tutukov, Vyacheslav Shevchenko, Vladimir Surdin, Arkady Tishkov talk about the need to live reasonably and take care of what we have.

RSC Energia continues "fitting" and testing on the layout of a new spacecraft.

Test engineers work out the procedure for non-standard actuation.

In the future, the ship, which does not yet have a name (now "Federation"), will be able to fly not only in near-Earth orbit, but also to other planets.

The plot of Natalia Burtseva starred test engineers Ivan Velichko, Evgeny Prokopyev, Mark Serov.

The plot for the 50th anniversary of the Institute of Biomedical Problems (IBMP RAS).

Systems are being developed here to make astronauts feel comfortable in orbit and return home in good physical shape.

The main task of the institute is to prepare a person for interplanetary travel, and as always, a variety of animal species help scientists in this.

Interview: Igor Ushakov, Oleg Gazenko (2007 shooting), Valery Polyakov, Natalia Novikova.

Joint exercises of firefighters and Roscosmos specialists were held at the main training ground of the Academy of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

According to the scenario, fragments of a rocket with dangerous fuel fell into the forest, there was a threat of fire.

The task of rescuers is to eliminate the accident promptly and with minimal damage, using new technologies of fire extinguishing of temperature-activated water (explosive boiling technology).

The main specialist of FSUE "CENKI" Vyacheslav Shirshov, Alexey Buryak, Sergey Khramtsov starred in the plot.

The new head of Roscosmos, Oleg Ostapenko, made a working trip to Baikonur.

The next stage of the trip is the Amur Region, where a new Vostochny cosmodrome is being built.

Le Bourget, 50th Aerospace Salon.

At the jubilee salon, 44 countries presented to the audience the achievements of the aircraft industry and advanced developments in the space industry.

One of the space premieres of the exhibition is a new Soyuz-5 rocket of the Soyuz-5 family; a mock-up of a new launch pad at the Vostochny cosmodrome was also presented.
