Description
When we say Kaluga, we mean Tsiolkovsky. Because of him the city is known far beyond the borders of Russia. You will visit the house-museum of Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, the great Russian scientist, the founder of theoretical cosmonautics. He made great discoveries in the theory of the movement of rockets and laid the foundations for space discovery.
Another most interesting and fascinating objects of the city of Kaluga is the first in the world and the largest space-related museum in Russia, created with the direct participation of Sergey Korolev and Yuriy Gagarin. Visiting a unique museum of astronautics, you will learn about "how it all began." You will be shown an artificial satellite invented by Tsiolkovsky, a burnt descent vehicle, in which Gagarin returned to Earth, the first real satellites and much more. Here is the real Sikhote-Alin meteorite weighing 40.5 kg, which fell in the Far East. The museum has a collection of rocket engines, the layout of the base unit of the Mir orbital station, the moving globes of Mars, Earth, the Moon and the starry sky.
