    Photos from Kazakhstan

    There are [5] photos from Kazakhstan

    A different view to Baikonur city's space theme monument. Views[222] Before their journey into space, every astronaut writes his/her's name and date on the wall of the Baikonur museum, next to a image depicting a rocket launch. Another image of the sort is also in the museum, but framed becouse there was no room left for astronauts to sign. On the day of the launch, a snow storm spoiled the event for us, but I could still feel the heat coming from the rocket. Views[1840] A girl watches closely towards a wall full of astronaut crew photographs in Baikonur Cosmodrome. Views[240] Oleg Atkov, pilot – cosmonaut and a hero of the Soviet Union passes by during a guided tour of the Cosmodrome site 254. Views[346] While on a tour of the International Space School, we were demonstrated the process of a rocket launch. Attendants had the opportunity to 'push the button' and launch models into air. This Kazakh boy was ready and on-the-go, collecting and playing with every rocket model that had fallen onto the launch site. Views[252]
