Assembly-and-test building on site # 112 Currently used by the JSC “RKTs-“Progress” is intended for the assembly of the Soyuz rocket and connection of the payload with the rocket. During the manned mission, the rocket is transported from here to the launch complex. In the 60s, the Soviet lunar launch vehicle “N1” was assembled and modified here. In the 80’s, work for the Energia-Buran program was carried out here. You can also see and take photos of the transport and installation device for the “Energia-Buran” system here (the metal beams on it are shaped like grasshopper legs, hence the nickname “grasshopper”).

Site 250A

Universal complex start-stand (UCSS) for “Energia” rocket on site # 250A. The fortified bunker (structure 60) was used to control the refueling, cooling and launching of the superheavy Energia rocket . From here, on may 15, 1987, the launch of the “Energia SKIF-DM” system was controlled. Visitors will be able to take photos inside at the control room and feel involved in the most important event – the start.

Launch pad of Energia-Buran system on site # 110. This launch pad was previously used for the Soviet lunar program N1, later refited for processing the needs of the Energia-Buran project. On November 15, 1988, the first ever fully unmanned spaceship “Buran” was launched from this launch pad. The viewing of the object is only possible from outside the perimeter.

Site 200 Proton

Launch pad for a “Proton” rocket site # 200. There are two launchers located on the site: No. 39 (“left”) and No. 40 (“right”). Interplanetary probes to Venus and Mars and modules of orbital stations (for example, the Mir space station ), were launched from site 200.

Monument to the deceased on the launch pad for intercontinental ballistic missiles R-16 site # 41. On October 24, 1960, at approximately 18:45, an unexpected activation of the second stage engine occurred, causing the oxidizer and fuel tanks of the first stage to explode, killing 78 people in exposion and injuring 42.

Assembly and testing facility on site # 42 currently under the management of the Baiterek RSC was originally intended for the preparation of Zenit rocket. There are two transportation vechicles for “Zenit” on site 42 . At the moment, the facility is being upgraded for the Soyuz-5 rocket.

Launch pad for the “Zenit” rocket on site # 45 the launch complex operated by Baiterek RSC was created for testing and launching the “Zenit” rocket. It consists of 2 launchers. At the launch complex there are mobile towers , nicknamed “Birdhouses”, designed for boarding the spaceship, which was supposed to be launched using the “Zenit” rocket.
