Modern Russia takes great national pride in its space program initiated under the USSR by Sergei Korolev in 1956. It is rather justified, considering that the country is still the second space power in the world and that the Russians boast of having placed in orbit the first artificial satellite (Sputnik 1 in 1957), the first man in orbit (Yuri Gagarin in 1961), of having taken the first picture of the dark side of the Moon, and even of having organized the first extra-vehicular spacewalk (Alexei Leonov in 1965)

That's why the Astronautical Museum is located at the foot of the magnificent Monument of the Conquerors of Space erected in 1964 in honor of the Russian pioneers with its stylized trail of fire and gas and its rocket which culminates at 110 m. The museum itself, built in 1981 and renovated in 2009, has 8 exhibition halls with a huge collection of period pieces, moving testimonies of the first steps in the conquest of space, etc. There are exceptional artifacts such as Gagarin's personal belongings and items ranging from the priceless to the unclassifiable: the world's very first satellite, Belka and Strelka, the famous dog-cosmonauts (now stuffed), etc. While passing through the gift store, don't forget to buy space food in tubes or take a jump in the space flight simulation capsule. For us, this is an indispensable visit that links Russian heritage with that of humanity, and we always come out of it a little moved.

A voir pour se plonger dans la conquête spatiale sur presque tout un siècle! Beaucoup d'objets, de documents, photos, maquettes... Entrée peu chère, la visite vaut le coup même si on ne comprends pas tout, car pas mal de choses écrites uniquement en russe, audioguide seulement en anglais et peu de numéros indiqués pour savoir quoi écouter au bon moment. A l'extérieur, Monuments des conquérants et sa fusée, assez impressionnante.

un des meilleurs musée de Moscou. Pour 250 roubles, c'est la découverte de l’univers des cosmonautes. Il y a des pièces authentiques et des maquettes (comme celle échelle 1:1 de la station MIR). A faire incontestablement.
