March 7 is the birthday of the first cosmonaut squad.

Over 55 years, 16 sets of astronauts have been conducted, more than 230 people have been selected, but only 119 have gone into space.

In 2016, a new set is expected, and as in 2012, it will be open, that is, for everyone.

Interview: cosmonauts Sergey Volkov, Yuri Lonchakov, Valentina Tereshkova, Oleg Novitsky, Boris Volynov, Evgeny Tarelkin.

The China-2014 air Show gathered a record number of participants: 700 companies from 41 countries of the world presented their latest technical developments.

We can say that the exhibition was held under the flag of Russian-Chinese friendship.

At the stands of Roscosmos enterprises, Chinese specialists were looking for new technical solutions, and the Russians, in turn, found a reflection of the glorious Soviet past in Chinese developments.

Nevertheless, we must admit: China has entered the top three space powers.

If earlier they only copied, now they are introducing their innovative developments, but again together with Russia.

Recently, there have been more and more astronomical discoveries made by amateur astronomers.

Astronomers now have telescopes at their disposal that allow them to take bright star photos and even animation.

With their help, it becomes clear the movement of space objects against the background of fixed stars.

The plot starred employees of the Moscow Planetarium - scientific director Faina Rubleva and head of the astronomical complex Yaroslav Turilov, as well as astronomers Artem Novichonok, Gennady Borisov, Anton Saveliev, Evgeny Polupanov, Sergey Nazarov.

At a special training ground of the Ministry of Emergency Situations near Moscow, the training of future cosmonauts was completed, this time helicopters were used to rescue the crews, evacuation from the ground and from the water was practiced.

An emergency situation can happen to everyone, which means that everyone needs to pass such an exam.

The plot of Natalia Burtseva starred Andrey Babkin, Anatoly Zabruskov, Anna Kikina, Sergey Volkov, Oleg Blinov.

Returning to Earth is one of the most difficult periods for astronauts.

Even now, when special programs have been developed for rapid recovery after space flight, the effects of weightlessness are felt for a long time.

Its effect on humans has not yet been fully studied, research continues both on Earth and in space, almost every crew conducts experiments.

One of the main tasks of space medicine is to preserve health during long flights and help a person return back alive, healthy and able-bodied.

Interview: Sergey Krikalev, Elena Nikolaeva-Tereshkova (daughter of cosmonauts Andriyan Nikolaev and Valentina Tereshkova), Alexey Leonov, Valery Polyakov, Alexander Misurkin, Sergey Volkov, Oleg Kotov.

The Scientific Assembly of the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) gathered scientists from many countries in Moscow.

The main topic of the speeches of Russian scientists was the exploration of the Moon, but the new lunar program is not a repetition of what was passed.

According to experts, this is the preparation of infrastructure for future joint flights to Mars.

The plot starred ESA representative Richard Kminek, academician Lev Zeleny, chief designer for the "lunar programs" of the Lavochkin NGO Vladimir Dolgopolov, Deputy head of the assembly shop of the Lavochkin NGO Vladimir Rostov, scientists Mikhail Marov, Alexander Kozyrev, Igor Mitrofanov, Alexander Bazilevsky, Alexey Malakhov.

The program of the first flight of a space launch vehicle designed in modern Russia has been completed, but there is still a lot of work ahead.

Today, the next "Angara" is being sent from the factory workshops to the Plesetsk cosmodrome.

The Russian space program for decades to come includes flights to the Moon and Mars, which means that the heavy and possibly superheavy Angara can go down in history as a rocket for interplanetary expeditions.

The plot starred Yuri Bakhvalov, Dmitry Rogozin, Oleg Ostapenko.

Italian Samantha Cristoforetti is preparing for an expedition to the ISS in Star City.

Italy's first female cosmonaut will go into orbit together with Anton Shkaplerov and Terry Verst on the Soyuz TMA-15M spacecraft.

The crew is engaged in a very important task: together with specialists, they taste dishes.

They approach this very responsibly, because what the astronauts choose in their menu, they will have to eat for six months.

Interview: Anton Shkaplerov, Samantha Cristoforetti, Senior Researcher at the CPC Andrey Balandin, Oleg Artemyev, Alexander Skvortsov, Oleg Kononenko.
