A week before the opening of the XXII Winter Olympics in Sochi.

The history of the construction of the Olympic sports complex and monitoring of work from space.

Olympic torch relay on the ISS.

Going into outer space with the Olympic torch.

Interview: cosmonauts Sergey Ryazansky, Fyodor Yurchikhin, Sergey Krikalev, Oleg Kotov, Acting Head of the Scientific Center for Operational Monitoring of the Earth Andrey Shokol.

Work on space at Moscow State University began in 1957, when scientists were trying to find out the nature of the processes taking place in near space.

It was Soviet satellites with university instruments that confirmed the theory of the existence of the inner and outer radiation belts of the Earth, for this work scientists were awarded the Lenin Prize.

In total, students and teachers of Moscow State University have developed about 400 instruments for spacecraft and stations.

Today, MSU is the only university in Russia and one of the few in the world that develops its own spacecraft.

This is a promising vector of development of the oldest university in the country, in which the emphasis is on astronautics and astrophysics.

In the spring of 2014, a new MSU spacecraft named after the founder of the university will go into orbit.

Mikhailo Lomonosov will become the third representative of the space flotilla of the main university of the country after two mini-satellites "Tatiana" and "Tatiana-2".

Until recently, it was believed that all the beauty and horror of thunderstorms were over our heads.

However, stormy passions rage not only under the clouds, but also above them, lightning shoots up into space.

A scientific conference was held at the Institute of Space Research on the results of the work of the Chibis satellite, which was sent into space to study high-altitude lightning.

When a satellite flies over a thunderstorm front, it captures the radiation of waves of various lengths.

Scientists believe that there is a benefit in atmospheric electricity discharges.

According to one version, it was thanks to this powerful source of energy that the first life appeared on Earth.

The plot starred Professor Stanislav Klimov, Professor Sergey Svertilov, cosmonaut Pavel Vinogradov, leading researcher at the All-Russian Electrotechnical Institute Vladimir Sysoev.

Test cosmonaut Mukhtar Aimakhanov and his dream.

Interview: Mukhtar Aimakhanov, Sergey Krikalev, Alexander Solovyov.

Not only cosmonauts know what our planet looks like from space, but also the staff of the Scientific Center for Operational Monitoring of the Earth, which was created to combine all the achievements of remote sensing of the Earth.

The center's antennas receive information from remote sensing spacecraft.

From the images, you can observe how cities change over time, look for forest fires or illegal logging, predict weather, yield and even earthquakes.

The plot starred employees of the NC OMZ: Deputy Chief Alexander Semerikov and Anatoly Goncharov, leading specialist Sergey Bryantsev, forecaster Lyudmila Filonova, chief specialists Oleg Andrianov and Alexey Fedotov.

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.

Interview: First Deputy General Designer of RSC Energia Alexander Kuznetsov, First Vice President of RSC Energia Alexander Strekalov, First Deputy General Designer of RSC Energia Nikolay Bryukhanov.

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.
