The State Museum of Cosmonautics History named by K.E. Tsiolkovsky



The State Museum of Cosmonautics History named by K.E. Tsiolkovsky is one of the biggest space museums in the world, and was opened with personal help of S.P. Korolev and Yuri Gagarin, in 1967. It is situated in Kaluga – the hometown of the well-known Russian scientist Tsiolkovsky, who was the founder of theoretical astronautics, an inventor, and a writer of philosophical and sociological books. The museum exhibits represent the history of aviation, aeronautics and space-rocket engineering.

The halls of the museum are dedicated to the history of space artifacts, from the first artificial satellite to modern space stations and space flights. You would see unique exhibit items, such as the first artificial Satellites, space descent vehicles for exploring Moon, Mars and Venus, and a large collection of rocket engines.
