Today, on April 19, 2024, the Reserve Center of the Presidential Library in Moscow hosted an International Scientific and Educational festival on the topic: "Yuri Gagarin - the Hero of Our Time", dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the birth of Hero of the Soviet Union, test pilot Yuri A.

The event was attended by representatives of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, the Moscow City Duma, representatives of the CIS Executive Committee, Russian cosmonauts, as well as regional public and political figures.

The main purpose of the festival is to present Yuri A. Gagarin as a hero of our time, as well as to tell about outstanding Soviet scientists who made a significant contribution to space exploration and the development of related sciences and industries in the USSR.

During the event, the modern achievements of the Russian Federation in the field of cosmonautics (including manned one) development, as well as the use of virtual reality in the process of cosmonaut training were disscussed. Also, topics of promising Russian developments and techniques in the field of engineering and technological education were considered.

At the same time, the festival included in-person visits to Armenia, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan by test cosmonauts of the Roscosmos detachment, who took part in the festival in an online format from these countries.

In Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, Hero of the Russian Federation, test cosmonaut Peter Dubrov visited the Gagarin Russian-Tajik School, where he held a Gagarin lesson and told students and teachers about his experience of training and space flight. In Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, Hero of the Russian Federation, test cosmonaut Sergei Korsakov held a meeting with students of the Kyrgyz Aviation Institute. In Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, test cosmonaut Harutyun Kiviryan held a lesson at the Armenian University for students from Armenia, Iran and Georgia.

The festival is aimed at developing and strengthening cooperation between the CIS countries in the field of engineering and technological education, as well as increasing the interest of young people in research, engineering developments in the field of astronautics and Earth exploration.

ITALY - "Beyond the dark the stars." Yuri's Night 2024.

The Association for the Dissemination of Astronomy and Astronautics ADAA Aps proposes the traditional special event dedicated to space exploration. The initiative is associated with the international event Yuri’s Night – The World Space Party, which commemorates the flight of the Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, the first human being to reach space and orbit the Earth, on 12 April 1961.

On Saturday 13 April, the Association’s communicators will illustrate the great scientific and technological challenge posed by space exploration.

Speakers:

– Luigi Pizzimenti: Gagarin and the beginning of the space age – Alessandro Barazzetti: The flight to ZeroG from its origins to today – Federica Gozio: The flight of Walter Villadei – Marco Cannavacciuolo: Space economy – Silvia Pizzimenti: From Space Research to the Conservation of Cultural Heritage: The International MOXY Project – Emanuele Cambiotti: Beyond the dark the stars

– Rodrigo Araya & Andrea tedeschi: Curiosity and backstory of space enterprises.

Yuri’s Night is an important opportunity to relaunch this message of peace and unity, as relevant then as it is today, from the Cold War of the 20th century to the international tensions linked to the tragic news of our times.

Gagarin: “Orbiting the Earth in my spacecraft, I was amazed by the beauty of our planet. Peoples of the whole world, let’s safeguard and enhance this beauty, let’s not destroy it!”.
