Are one of those rocket engines the type that are used in the R-7 rockets? Like the one that sent sputnik out to orbit. And then later on the poor little dog named Laika?
Thanks for kind comments!
sure i can spend a lot of time in these places too. I guess i can go to st.peterburg one more time next autumn and get much more pictures of these engines.
If you can afford to visit several locations in Russia on your trip, I recommend visiting at least the Memorial Museum of Spaceflight in Moscow and Tsiolkovsky Space History Museum in Kaluga. They are easy to get to (if you pay attention to admission hours notices) and contain rich exhibitions. Even more interesting are museums of the enterprises of space industry, but they are costly to visit and take special tricks to get permit of admission for.
Lovers of the Cold War era can consider visiting a real missile control bunker hidden under Moscow or a decommissioned ICBM launch base in Ukraine. Visitors can tap the launch button as much as they like.
