COSMIC SAMARA

A small museum dedicated to the Russian conquest of space, in which the city played a crucial role: after the war, Samara was the place where the construction of launchers and rockets began, including the one that for the first time propelled Yuri Gagarin into space. The exhibitions are in Russian, but there is an application to follow them in English. Above all, you must stop at the entrance of the museum, where a real Soyuz rocket is parked!

To be combined with a visit to the Museum of the University of Aviation and Space Exploration at 34 Moskovskoye Shosse.
