baikonur it's also right about right or wrong good or bad had sent. them to work at the space so far so use has orders for fourteen launches from the launches from. this is a very significant in two ways one that this is carrying the first european satellite navigation system into space a beginning a long cooperation between europe like european space agency and russia. all right while we do our correspondent daniel bushell standing by at the launch site down you know we just saw the a live pictures of the launch or can you tell us what's going on where you are. yes is to mark a momentous occasion for the history of russia space industry the first takeoff over. outside of russia space is now is launching in the west despite a few technical minor wools at the end because we had torrential rains just five minutes before the launch and it's still raining at the moment but despite this

being the dry season that can affect takeoff they were not hoping for this but it has gone off successfully that's the main thing at the moment they have gone off successfully as we can see the rocket is launching successfully which is the main thing now the world should have been yesterday go postponed a few hours because of more on a technical issues something called the refueling valves fail to connect well that's a problem that happens quite often during. the space expose for saying they want to make sure that everything goes salute the smoothly today was a reserve day now they used three reserve days two more was the last resort of the instant case something goes wrong that's about as we can see you know everything seems to be going absolutely smoothly so of course the world's most successful launch are responsible for over ninety percent of successful launch is. getting back as you say to the nineteen fifties the family of rocket soyuz really responsible. many historic launches and no to date we're all seeing the first in

the west very much hoped for by russia's space industry that this will boost the reputation even further of russia as the world's leading space country now america for example is retiring its rocket some of the rocket launchers and they were loyal russia for example to take astronauts to the international space station so really this is the rebirth and the expansion of the russian space industry russian return will get phones to invest in the next generation of space travel it also gives many advantages from here on the equator as we've heard you can almost double the payload due to the fact that the quicker here on the equator the we do expect everything will go smoothly throughout the day we will be monitoring all goes on from the control room just here and we will bring you updates. thanks very much for that update official certainly glad to see

a successful takeoff over there and again we're looking at pictures from that launch earlier that we had seen be so use rocket going into space carrying the satellite navigation system europe again russian and european officials hope that the saudis will eventually be used to take astronauts into space from this new launch site this is as our correspondent had been saying be a first launch outside like. all right well that's all for now about the flight this week sky high moscow outlets had to. right now. monetary. history. friendly. dynamic. code.

hello i welcome to the mosque around shah in this week's episode of exploring the subject of flights taking a look at the history of aviation in russia to the latest simulator is across designs and airport terminals so joey was a downer is as we journey from the soviet skies to modern day developments starting off here at the political museum in moscow. the museum has several exhibits showcasing the simpson flight models of and crafts palace engine mechanics you can

see how the aviation industry developed in the largest country in the world. the history of civil airline is in the soviet union can be traced all the way back to the russian revolution in one nine hundred seventy in when the new boss of the government so as one of the main ways to modernize the country. the new communist leaders believed and travel would be the most efficient way to transport both people and supplies across the vast country in one thousand nine hundred eighty three the first soviet ally of the lot was created several other small companies were formed and nine years later the name and a float was officially adopted for the entire service civil effete airflows went on to become the largest airline in the world with to pull off and illusion and craft making up the majority of its massive feeds as the aviation industry flourished around the world the u.s.s.r. was no exception. back to the museum along with the space race and technology as

a whole day you can see how the soviet era through secrecy success and failure was a melting pot for ideas innovation and development. moving to our next location and it's time to look at modern day akaash training simulators here are used for a variety of reasons the design and development of aircraft and the research in the ak off movement and stability people also come here to share entertainment if you have a dream to flying a plane well this is as close to the real thing as you will ever get. to hear we have a cockpit of a seven thirty seven energy legion aeration which is open for everyone ears experience being a fly it is a full scale cockpit and provides the same conditions as a real pilot deals with you can choose any just a nation around the world and try to control the plane in any weather conditions we welcome children as our guests do they just love this why experience love your home

. on the walls you can see various photographs taken from cockpits cloud formations difficult landing strips and breadth. taking skylines images of chic cabin crew and well groomed pilots adds to the atmosphere but only a trouble is the opposite a terrifying arithmetic ordeal so with that in mind the center runs training programs people wanting to overcome the fear of flying not something that i need and i'm not late it's my time to try my hand being a copilot gate eighty two ready for boarding after several preflight checks the engines are advanced to ninety percent the hydraulic movements mimic the plane racing down the runway and we take to the happy just like a real flight and density turbulence clouds disposition every bump a movement can be found. in today is take a short flight from moscow has dominated the airport fly around and the material to

the same landing strip. easier said than done fortunately i have expert help at hand. just make sure you don't make any dramatic maneuvers you'll soon hear the produce disapproval in your headset. traveling three hours south of the capital by car and we will ride our next destination here a small flight club specializes in aerobatics the practice of making out of the flying maneuvers the training the creation its age and speed aerobatics all towards military fighter pilots to develop flying skills and for tactical keeps in combat today i've been invited to take to the skies will be a roller coaster at ten thousand feet good job i haven't eaten. now the first flying club as it's known in this has been here for two years previously the f.a.a. has used back in the u.s.s.r. for aircraft but spray pesticides other planes the guys use here are they yak

eighteen to the fifty two and the fifty four which you see here i want to experience will refrain last between twenty and thirty minutes or more cost between four thousand and seven thousand rubles that's roughly around one hundred thirty two hundred dollars not bad and am i nervous. yes. you have less planes were originally introduced to train arafat pilots they've recently gained popularity as a sports plane both inside and outside the former u.s.s.r. anyone can come here to experience what zero g. feels like to barrel turns and the loops aeronautical experience isn't necessary you just need a little courage and trust the pilots know what had to ring and once in a lifetime experience that has been enjoyed by man russians and foreigners. a lot

of people like the laws on these airplanes you know they're a fighter you're going to hear of a powerful engine so it's very good a bright yellow propeller plane he won't miss this in the sky and after meeting my pilot it into the aircraft i go and on honest to goodness knows what i have got myself into i have a feeling this is not the faint pulse is. one thing that is apparent straight away is the noise from the monster of an engine if i take the headset off i can hardly see myself speaking. moring down the runway we can we feel every single bump and crack in the surface of a stomach churning roller coaster in the sky as we banked to an incredible sixty degrees the views from above are impressive it feels very different to a typical commercial flight though that's for sure all aerobatic maneuvers demand

training and practice to avoid accidents luckily today my pilot mike seems is the main instructor and trainer at the center. g. forces are being seriously pushed here with a high pitch and a sub nose dive it's time to experience brief weightlessness zero g. . they said drilling filled experience should. everything i'm used to the human body can cope with everything of the positive nine g. i've not even reached of thought yet. good to know how was the experience. time for landing and easy easy a little wind to the left and we have contact with the ground again and over shaking i live to tell the tale. thrill seekers eat your heart out that's what experience i will never forget. moving on

and we have arrived at our final location should a mess of course almost thirty kilometers to the northwest of moscow let's look at modern commercial flight and the airports new terminals the world's largest airline arafat today is at the forefront of development training and technical support in the aviation industry in russia. in the maintenance hangar here you can see examples of first class engineering and here it's certainly out with the old and in with the new the rest of the airline industry has undergone a major revolution over the past twenty years some of the major players such as era flight s seven or trans there are about graded their fleets to the likes of airbus or boeing and major international routes taken from a i know from personal experience the majority of the aircraft use up top not run spanking new and often a great safe and comfortable flying experience in two thousand and ten share much of the airport and the almost twenty million passengers the new terminal d.

has one hundred number of awards for planning and design they can get one of the best passenger experiences in europe by the year twenty fifteen share a mess of a expects to increase traffic to thirty five million people and become the best hub in europe and terms of customer service with glittering arrival and trickles this is a wonderful. example of change in russia a massive reconstruction of the terminals is still in the way resulting in state of the officer or even plans for a third runway. of course and ports are highly guarded locations and security is the priority but sometimes there is a chance to see what's behind the usually closed doors occasionally moscow sheremetyevo organizes the so-called plane spotting event told journalists and bloggers to get access to their response plan thanks for taking pictures of aircraft in action. just a cross-posting ampoules is popular in many of the world's biggest airports open

their doors and access to runways both amateur and professional photographers trainspotters very much enjoy the opportunity and share their pictures with the whole world so everyone can have a closer look at the world of flying. expanding bush's aviation industry is paramount to the country's future. radical changes to aircraft fleet you terminals budget and lines infrastructure new technology and next time you pass through one of those because of course you too will see those dramatic changes and regardie entertainment whether you want to learn to fly a simulator that will be to the skies and the yoke of the stone plane there are dozens of places that will satisfy planes and adrenalin lovers of all ages in moscow one thing's for sure the sky is the limit. i just love them but of course me that's all the time we have on this week's program on the subject of flight i'll see you again the same time next week and so

that for me and the rest of the crew from the second runway here i'd fare better bear but by now. great. comfortable. unique. so different but the only. moscow. the hub you with here first sports today i am union o'neill plenty ahead this hour

a lot of work to do on our basic skills and flawless execution but we did really well overall and all of us are ready for lunch and men's team captain anton gold suits golf was quite happy with his partner's performance after all four out of seven gymnasts were experiencing a major senior event for the first time he won an individual silver medal in the vault while russia only managed a fourth place in that same event however on dawn feels that the guys were robbed of a bronze world championship medal and that's what we did to create and i think our performance deserved a bronze medal but the judge's decision was unfair or it will be different at the olympics where the judges will not be able to take away points from our so blatantly russia's national team coach andy or do you want to call believes the issue is not with any one particular judge it's rather a systemic problem a solution to which is way overdue it's not a mistake or change their opinion from this is but that is the inch opinion it's

still kind of different between them so i have to go and visible difference of course will work better but i'm sure olympic games will with two probably fifteen play. in the course will did the subject of refereeing is nothing new with artistic gene. far from the only sport where certain decisions seem controversial the issue is now under a close watch by russia's sports authorities as the country's sports minister it's called promise to discuss it with the head of the international gymnastics federation. the world i'm certain that the i.o.c. should pay close attention to such things and we have to speak with all the nations that sponsor major sports and make sure that objective refereeing is in place for everyone involved this is global problem and not just in gymnastics. well it looks like once again we will be looking forward to not just the political achievement of

the upcoming olympics in london but unfortunately also all the drama that will surround the judging in the less objective events at the gangs or i'm on call sorority moscow the world. is all the sport flower weather is coming up in just a tick. well . bringing you the latest in science and technology from around the world. we've got the future covered.
