“A major celebration of the first manned spaceflight’s anniversary is an opportunity to express our deep respect for industry’s veterans – the people whose hard work and scientific and engineering expertise have allowed Russia to become a great space power. They laid the foundations for those traditions, which today allow us to be among the leaders in the global space industry”.
