Our tourists will also have the opportunity to observe this entire process up close, so it is also a great opportunity to take some eminet photos.
Memorial houses of S.P. Korolev and Yu.A. Gagarin
The houses of Gagarin and Korolev are two of the oldest buildings on the Baikonur Cosmodrome. These small structuresbear the names of two important figures in the history of space exploration: the first human being to orbit the Earth and the chief designer of the Soviet Union's rocket program. Today, these houses look very old and their interiors convey a sense of the 1950s, when space exploration was in its infancy. These monuments to space pioneers allow us to understand thesimple and austere conditions in which they lived and thelimited technology available at that time.
After the departure of the crew members to the cosmodrome, we will take a stroll along the famous Cosmonaut's Alley. Every astronaut who goes into space for the first time on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft is required to plant a tree in this alley. The tradition was started by Yuri Gagarin, who planted his own tree before his flight.
