A journey into the secret world of the Russian Space
program. We begin by traveling outside of Moscow to Star City, the formerly top secret training facility for Soviet cosmonauts, where today space travelers from all over the world prepare for their flights. Here we explore the Mir Space Station simulator, see the Hydrolab for zero-G training, the largest centrifuge in the world, and the Soyuz-TMA Simulator. And if you choose you can train like a real cosmonaut by signing up for one of the optional training activities, a zero-G flight or Space Walk training in the Orlan Space suit lab. Next, fly to the steppes of Kazakhstan, to the massive territory of the Baikonur Cosmodrome, the Russian space launch facility, to witness all the behind the scenes procedures leading up to the manned launch of the Soyuz spacecraft on its way to relieve the crew of the ISS. Enjoy unparalleled access to VIP viewing areas and briefing sessions. Back in Moscow, take in a few of the classic sights before you witness the live Soyuz - ISS docking at Mission Control Center, an event that very few have experienced in such a personal way. If you’ve ever dreamed of space travel, this compelling exploration was designed just for you.
