[000:00:00;00] special people approach the descent vehicle, there is a radiation check, one second, that is, everything is very clear, i am surprised at how many services are working at the same time, and i say, harmoniously - this is probably the most correct word that describes the process, and they open the launch vehicle, the cosmonauts appear, at that moment it seems that some kind of miracle is happening, and then i tell you this as if... you never had anything to do with this, well, i haven’t met anyone until at least, but i think that uh there from the inside, of course , everything is perceived in an even more amazing way, but from the outside it looks like this, and over the 10 years of working at the museum, were there any meetings that you remember most? i can’t single out just one person at once, because it would be incorrect in front of everyone else and the cosmonauts, employees

of the rocket and space industry... with whom i had the opportunity to communicate, because each meeting gave birth to something new in me and brought something new , but i have to answer this question, and i’ll probably tell you about a few my meetings with alexey arkhipovich leonov, who came to the cosmonautics museum many times, who perceived this place as a kind of home, there was an absolute feeling that he felt there, probably in the best sense, at home, and i remember, alexey arkhipovich leonov, the first time we had a shoot, i remember that there were some foreign journalists, and alexey arkhipovich , already somewhere in the fifth or sixth hour of shooting, he continued, he was so energetic, he was naturally already aged but he was very energetic, he gave some instructions to the film crew, we continued this filming, and after about 5-6 hours, colleagues, foreigners, journalists, they came up and said: alexey arkhipoch, let's take a break, take a rest, we need lunch,

we need to exhale a little, it’s difficult for us, and here alexey arkhipovich with... and says: so, i worked for 20 years without lunch and you won’t, we continue filming and we have about another 3, yes, about 3, 3 hours until the evening they were still filming, indeed, it seems to me that they didn’t even bother to bring water anymore drink, because that’s how they are, and i also , of course, remember the story of alexei arkhipovich leonov, he really loved to talk in detail, in all the details about his exit. into outer space, and for those who don’t know, so as not to waste time on it now , i’ll probably advise watching the film time of the first, which tells in great detail, but i’ll just remind you that alexey arkhipovich leonov had to return to the airlock chamber , as we remember, with your feet - inward, as if into the airlock chamber itself, so that yes, to close behind you, to close the hatch behind himself, because if

it didn’t close automatically, and no one had done it automatically then, he had to... on his own, because no one could do it for him, and we remember that due to the large number of freelance situations with many of which alexey arkhipivich coped with, but he was unable to go feet first, he had to swim headfirst into the airlock chamber, and when you swim headfirst into the airlock chamber, due to the fact that the spacesuit is very large, this spacesuit, by the way, is technologically his the duplicate is in museum of cosmonautics, you can see it, see what it looked like, and because it is very large, and this one... from behind, it was impossible to just take it and turn around, and alexey arkhipovich, he releases the pressure in the spacesuit, exposing his life, of course, at a colossal risk, but at the same time he understands how much pressure can be released, yes, it is possible, he turns around, closes this hatch, and then, when he was telling this whole story, he then made such a theatrical pause and said, and you know what's best the main thing is that i realized at that moment how everyone who listened to him seemed to freeze at that moment,

trying... to understand, what? and he said, i realized that if you want to live, know how to move around. brilliant, daria, what projects are you proud of that were in the cosmonautics museum during your work. one of the projects was called the search for unsent postcards, i will tell its background. at that time, my colleague olley and i were working together in the press service . at some point , an employee from the acquisition service, from the acquisition department, flies to us simply on the wings of inspiration, note... 16 postcards with a photograph of cosmonaut vladimir mikhailovich komarov, and we see that on the back of these postcards is the cosmonaut’s autograph, authentic, and in his own hand, it is written who the postcard is intended for and where it should have been sent, but for some reason... for some reason these postcards were not sent, and what was interesting was that they were all signed by residents of ufa, and my colleague and i,

we still work a little differently... perception, we look at these postcards here the same idea is born in my head at the same time: why don’t we half a century later, try to find the recipients of these unsent postcards and convey such greetings from the cosmic past, and we begin this big machine to search for these people, and how many emotions we experienced simply cannot be conveyed, but also looking ahead, i will say that we did not find everything we found four people, that is, 12 out of 16 addressees of these postcards , moreover, as part of this action, we held a very large exhibition at the moscow museum of cosmonautics, which was dedicated to vladimir mikhailovich komarov, we invited... everyone we found, either the addressees or their relatives, if the addressees themselves were no longer alive, we invited them to the museum, we solemnly presented them with these postcards, and the government of bashkartostan,

directly in the city of ufa, when we found out about this, they supported the search for these people as much as possible, got involved in this work, yes, they got involved in this work, tv people and journalists got involved, as a result, on the building of the aviation institute in the city of ufa, where... this meeting with vladimir took place mikhailovich komarov, was a memorial plaque was installed, everything grew out of these sixteen postcards, and there was another project that i also really like, this too, by the way, i will talk about half a century, it was a chess game, and which was played between earth and space, later 50 years, and the first game was played in the seventieth year, when the cosmonaut... at the mission control center and the astronauts in orbit played chess, and we, as people who work to popularize this industry, we decided 50 years later, exactly half a century

to repeat this game, this time the museum of cosmonautics and the international space station had already played, and there was such a wave of interest in the topic of chess that we kind of rode this wave even further, brought the topic of space into this topic, became interested in space, became interested ... the museum became interested in chess, great, it was all live in two languages , a huge number of coverage, a huge number of views, and naturally, many more people then wanted to come to the cosmonautics museum, i know that you i’ve already written a book about space animals, can you briefly tell us about it, how the idea came about and what readers who haven’t read it yet can read there, yes, this book is called animal cosmonauts, the first conquerors of space, i’m not talking about all animals, i i tell you there, first of all, about dogs that flew into space, the idea for this book was born from two moments: first, i began to notice that people who come to the museum, regardless of

their age, they only know three dogs, who flew into space, this is laika, the first dog that went into space, and squirrel and strelka, the first living creatures that not only flew into space, but also returned safely to earth, but there were much more of these dogs, and i learned this , by the way, all thanks to the institute... of medical and biological problems, because i had the opportunity to work with archival documents, with the memories of people who directly prepared these dogs for flight into space, at some point, during this communication i i started writing down stories just for myself, at some point one of the publishing houses with which we interacted came to our museum and said: you know, we want to make some good book with the museum, you are the content, we are the opportunity the museum will be in all the bookstores... in russia and i say, there is such a topic, they say, it’s amazing, no one has ever written about this before, i wrote this book, and it has already gone through four editions, that is, such popularization, yes, there

i talk about all the animals, starting with the very first ones, which, back in the fifty-first year , dogs flew into space, that is, like 10 years, and before the first manned flight into space, already finishing those experiments that took place after the flight... you don’t remember, i don’t remember, because there are such a huge number of them, about 50 dogs flew into space, and some flew twice, several dogs flew three times and one dog flew four times - real astronauts, and i always tell you if people think that they just took the dogs and sent them into space, that's not true, they are in fact, there was a real dog squad, they also underwent training, medical selection , necessarily, medical selection, we remember that a certain height, weight, age, color, necessarily girls, if we are talking about orbital flights, because they also flew on geophysical flights dogs, boys and girls' dogs, in the orbital only girls, always

mongrels, and the training was very strict, that is, the same centrifuge, and then the dogs were necessarily trained, because it was not clear how they would behave in flight conditions, they taught to eat in shaking conditions, in conditions of... loud sounds, this is real training, real, absolutely, real, tell us about your new work, after seven and a half years at the cosmonautics museum, i was offered to study not only history but modernity, but let's just say, absolutely, that's it, that's what's happening now and what will be interesting in the future , and i moved from the cosmonautics museum to a private russian space company, russian, this is very important, because now, i'm absolutely in it i am convinced that astronautics is in general, it is experiencing some kind of renaissance and some kind of revival, and private astronautics in russia is now gaining momentum and it seems to me that... it’s about to

rush to the forefront of everything in general. we continue our conversation with daria wonderful about private astronautics in russia. we have three major areas: the development of ultra-light and lightweight launch vehicles, the creation of satellite constellations, and the analysis of space data. three big directions in which we work, everywhere already have their results, everywhere already have their own successes, and our main slogan is probably, and the idea that we want to convey is space for the earth, we are not talking about the fact that we need to quickly fly to other planets, populate mars or the moon there, no, we are talking about that there are still enough different issues on earth that need to be solved, and astronautics can help us, earthlings, very much in this regard. when i talk about the popularization of private astronautics, i always say that we are not you and me, but people who are not directly related to

space rarely think about how often they actually come into contact with space, use the services of space, absolutely, use the services of space, if those who are watching us now opened their phone this morning, looked at the weather forecast, or used a navigator, or used some kind of maps, just the internet, just the internet, at this moment a person interacts with space, i ’m now talking about the simplest levels, and if we are talking about different areas, starting from the farmer. ending with the oil industry, all these areas are very active use the data that we receive from satellites, so we are actually very dependent on space in many ways and not just dependent, but space improves, improves our life on earth every day, that is, you invented your own rocket, which you will launch yourself, which will have a useful payload in the form of satellites , which will provide information that... you will distribute on earth, exactly like that, all these

three directions, they are interconnected, but now, since we are a young company, we are literally three years old, in total 3 years, with one there are many sides, on the other hand, of course, for astronautics, we are still very young , and they are all interconnected, but at the same time we are developing them in parallel, that’s what yes, we are talking now about the direction of ultra-light rockets, we have there have already been several launches, and we carried out our second launch from the test site from which sergei pavlovich korolev launched his first rockets, and this is kapustir, yes, and this was also a very significant event for us, and now we are preparing to launch another rocket , that is, you will conquer space, it will be another test flight and it will go further, further faster and higher, but in our plans everything is exactly like that, and we will do everything that depends on us to ensure that this succeeds, and who will use your services, what satellites

will be... well, you will order, are there people, companies, organizations that are interested in this, yes, we are already working with several companies that are interested in our services, let me remind you that we ourselves also deal with satellites, and if we talk about which specific satellites, then these are two main big directions, this is dzz - remote sensing of the earth, and this is communication, well, communication is geostationary, yes, this is geostationary, it should already be a large rocket, with several stages. several stages, we have one of these rockets in development, and just with several stages for launching into the upper ones, well, now we are talking about geostationary, about geostationary orbit. that is, our russian private space company is developing, there are investors, there are people interested in the project itself, and of course there will be a huge number of those who will to use your resources, absolutely everything is so, and moreover, i will say that our investors are all russian, it’s all collected.

from russian components, 95%, exactly, if we are talking about the missile sector, these are russian components, that you assemble the rocket yourself in your own enterprise, yes, yes, and as for satellites, the percentage of russian components is lower, but we are also working on this, so as for the rocket, i say there, plus or minus it is 95%, and where do you assemble these rockets, we have special areas where we do this, most importantly, i wish your company to develop and prove that there are private companies in russia, specifically space companies, because here we are a little behind our foreign colleagues, especially from the american ones, therefore. uh, i hope that we too will be proud of your company, like you who are involved in space. thank you very much, because honestly, this is what we lack. we lack support and faith. we are often very faced with the fact that that we, even the common man in the street, have the feeling that private astronautics in
