Samara-based "Progress" center to show space developments at the RUSSIA EXPO
The Samara-based Space Rocket Center "Progress" will present its own space technologies at the International RUSSIA EXPO at the VDNH. This was revealed by the general director of the center Dmitry Baranov. He reminded that Samara is often called the space capital of the country.
"On November 4 at VDNH opens the RUSSIA EXPO, which will present the achievements of both our enterprise and other enterprises of the region", — said the general director.
As a reminder, on September 15, the Soyuz MS-24 spacecraft will launch from Baikonur on a launch vehicle designed and made at "Progress". The crew commander is Oleg Kononenko, who himself worked at the company for a long time and attributes his success to this experience.
"I have said many times that if there was no Samara period in my life, there would be no cosmonaut Kononenko", — shared the crew commander.
He also noted that in Samara everything from rockets to spaceships is made.
The international RUSSIA EXPO will open at the VDNH in Moscow on November 4. All 89 Russian regions will present their achievements in various spheres.
During the all-Russian survey "What does the Motherland begin with?", people across the country are answering this question in their own way, opening up the innermost corners of their souls.
Souvenir nevalyashkas (traditional Russian roly-poly dolls), are attracting particular attention, with guests choosing them for their harmonious combination of Russian colour and traditional Chinese symbols.
Under the guidance of artisans, each guest made an unusual souvenir that can become either a personal talisman or a gift with a special story.
