We are happy to see you at the exhibition Space Science: Looking Into the Past, Peering Into the Future!
On display are real scientific instruments for space, mock-ups of interplanetary stations and orbital spacecraft, numerous posters telling about history and current state of space science in Russia. And — ‘scale gallery’, astrophotography and many more.
