Benefit for students

This way students can gain knowledge during summer holidays about the history and current development of the space industry, the structure of spacecraft and about making models by hand.

Planned activities
In the autumn, if the epidemiological situation allows, Dmitry Viktorovich plans to organise at the institute a joint screening on a large screen of live launches of spacecraft and workshops on making rocket models.
