Ostankino Tower

The beginning of the 20th century marked

the new era of television. In this connection some TV towers were built in Russia.

The first tower was built in 1922.

In the 1950s, when the country saw the quick development

of television, this tower could not transmit all TV signals. So in 1967 a new TV tower was

built in Ostankino. Later the future Ostankino television center was built. The height of the

tower is 540 meters.

The weight of the tower is 51,400 tons.

Today the Ostankino

television tower has 20 radio and 20 television transmitters. From the tower

the signal is received by 8 “Orbita” satellites,

which help to bring TV signals to all TV viewers in the country.

The tower is also one of the most

interesting tourist sites in Moscow. The Ostankino TV tower has seven levels. Different levels of

height (147, 269, 350 m)

have got observation platforms. From them you can see all places in Moscow, and some places in the Moscow

region. The floor is made of special glass – during a tour visitors have a

feeling of free “floating” in the air. Under the observation deck on the

seventh level there is the restaurant complex “The Seventh Sky”. The tables in

the halls stand on a platform. The platform moves slowly, and visitors have an

additional opportunity to admire the views of the capital. More than 10 million

people have already visited the observation platform and the restaurant “The

Seventh Sky”.
