Baikonur. Rocket Launch Tour

 

Baikonur is a place of worship, a fantastic star town, where cosmic exploration started. It is the place, where the first successful artificial Earth Satellite was launched to stars. It was the ship “Sputnik-5” with Belka and Streka on board, and legendary “Vostok” with its first cosmonaut Yuriy Gagarin. 

Today, Baikonur rented by Russia until 2050, is the largest Cosmodrome of the world. Annually, more than 20 booster rocket launches occur here. By the way, this amazing performance is available for everyone, and Otrar Travel provides the unique opportunity for you — to make the exciting tour to the famous Cosmodrome. Besides the launch, lucky tourists will see the launch pads, mounting units, spacecraft “Buran”, memorial houses of Gagarin, Korolyov and Titov, visit the international press conference with the crew, and see all preparation stages, including moving out of the rocket and its installation.
