Russian space company

Roscosmos is a Russian state company which selects and trains astronauts, organises the operation of space exploration, conducts flight tests of equipment, and ensures the launch of spacecraft. It was founded in 1992 after the end of the Soviet Union's space program.

One of the most important achievements of Roscosmos is its contribution to the construction of the International Space Station (ISS). The ISS is a large spacecraft where astronauts from different countries live and work together.

Other Roscosmos launch facilities include the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, the world's first and largest spaceport, and the Vostochny Cosmodrome in the Amur Region.

Roscosmos has also sent numerous satellites into space. These satellites help with communications, weather forecasting, and scientific research. They orbit Earth and send back important information.

Another exciting project of Roscosmos is the exploration of the Moon and Mars. The agency is developing new spacecraft and missions to learn more about these celestial bodies. They hope to send humans to the Moon again and, in the future, to Mars.
