The nearest start
NOVEMBER 21, 2024
Unmanned launch of the PROGRESS-MS 29 spacecraft
Touch the cosmos
Baikonur Cosmodrome is one of the most iconic and exciting places in the world of cosmonautics. It was from here that Yuri Gagarin set off on the Vostok-1 spacecraft. The first artificial satellite was launched from here.
As part of the tour you will be able to visit all the main attractions of the cosmodrome, including launch complexes, museum of cosmonautics, flight control center and other interesting objects. You will be able to observe the process of preparing the rocket for launch, see the astronauts' send-off, hear the official report of the crew, and most importantly - see the rocket launch with your own eyes!

Launch vehicle transportation and verticalization
You will see the 50-meter rocket from the closest angle as it is being taken out of the assembly and test facility and verticalized at the launch complex.
Two days before liftoff, at exactly 7:00 a.m., the giant gates of the MIK open and the rocket rollout begins. The early morning rollout is a long-standing tradition, and it is not broken even in bad weather.

The Baikonur assembly and test complex is one of the largest and most complex structures of the cosmodrome. It is designed to assemble, test and prepare rockets and spacecraft for launch.
A launch complex is a site with a large amount of auxiliary equipment, thanks to which the rocket is launched.

launch and assembly/test complexes
Visit to mine launchers
You will visit the deep shafts that house the launch vehicles. One of the features of silo launchers is their high degree of protection from external influences. They can withstand strong earthquakes, hurricanes and other natural disasters. The units can even operate in automatic mode.
Visiting an international space school and communicating with astronauts
The International Space School in Baikonur was established in 2018 as part of a cooperation program between Russia and Kazakhstan.
Here, students work with real equipment and participate in scientific research in the space industry. At the school, you will attend a conference with astronauts held before each launch.

Visit to the Saturn measuring center
The Center is designed to control and manage all processes related to the launch of rockets and spacecraft. It is equipped with modern communication systems, radar stations and other means that allow controlling rockets at all stages of their flight. In addition, Saturn collects and processes information on the status of rockets and space objects.
Visit to the command center of Energia, Zenit and others
During a visit to one of the command centers – Energia, Zenit, or the Gagarin Command Bunker – you can experience what it’s like to be a rocket engineer, pushing the ‘Start’ button for the launch of a super-heavy rocket into space.
The command post is a huge fortified bunker the size of a soccer field, which from the outside looks like a huge mound. Inside, it consists of several floors with thick walls, powerful doors, corridors and halls. Such protection is specially designed in case of an explosion or a rocket fall, despite the fact that the launch site is more than 3 km away.

Visiting the Gagarin Launch
“Gagarin Launch is the heart of the cosmodrome, site No. 1, from which legendary rocket launches were performed: the launch of the first artificial Earth satellite, the first human space flight, the launch of the Soyuz spacecraft, which then docked with the Apollo spacecraft. In 65 years, more than 630 rockets have been launched from the Gagarin launch site, although initially it was planned to test only a few ballistic missiles here.
The highlight of the trip is watching the rocket launch from a special observation deck. You will feel the authentic murmur of the spaceport and see a huge rocket slowly rising into the air. You can also watch this process with special telescopes and binoculars, which are installed on the observation deck.

Frequently Asked Questions
If we know about it in advance, we will refund your money or rebook you on another date. If the launch is suddenly postponed while you are already at the cosmodrome, we can help you extend your pass and accommodation, change your return ticket if you want. The launch is organized by Roscosmos, so we are not responsible for force majeure.
We issue and receive passes for our clients to Baikonur and the cosmodrome, organize transfers, accommodation, breakfasts, excursions, monitor your safety. When the launch is canceled, our work is nevertheless considered to be done, which you agree to by signing our contract before the trip. We fully deliver the promised services, the fulfillment of which depends only on us.

Tickets for these flights to Krainiy are sold exclusively at the Roscosmos ticket office. They must be booked in advance by calling a phone number. The sale of tickets is often discontinued or the flight is even removed from the schedule without explanation. Furthermore, tickets to Krainiy are much more expensive than to Kyzylorda, even considering the cost of a transfer. In our experience, it’s best not to use flights to Krainiy.
Alas, not always, better reinsure yourself and take more cash with you. Baikonur is an enclave of Russia in Kazakhstan, so not only tenge but also rubles are used in the city.
Good mood, photo or video equipment, backpack, thermos. What to take with you from clothes, we advise you before the tour.
In hotels “Tsentralnaya”, “Sputnik”. Hotels “7 Vetrov”, “Baikonur”, “Berezhki” - on request.
The official program does not provide for this. If you are looking for an extreme experience, no matter what, you can find routes on the Internet. But we don't advise you to walk along them, it's dangerous because the condition of the building is unsafe.
