Why I choose Samara University?

IN THE CENTRE OF SPACE TECHNOLOGY

Samara is one of the leading aerospace centres of the world. It is here where the rocket that took Yuri Gagarin into space was built. Today all types of modern space technology are being created here. This includes rocket engines and space satellites, and, of course, the most reliable family of "Soyuz" launch vehicles in the history of mankind.

The strategic partner of Samara University is JSC SRC "Progress". It is one of the world leaders in the development, production and operation of medium-class launch vehicles, as well as the leading Russian developer of Earth remote sensing systems. 1890 launch vehicles and 992 spacecrafts constructed at JSC SRC "Progress" have been launched by 2018.

THE UNIVERSITY OF SPACE CAPITAL

Since 1957 the design and construction of rocket and space technology has been a framework area of research and training for Samara University. Within the cooperation agreement with "Roscosmos" corporation, specialized training of highly qualified specialists for research and production centers of "Roscosmos" was organized. Besides, joint educational and research projects are being implemented.

The university has formed a unique worldwide scientific and educational complex, which ensures the direct participation of students in all stages of the development, creation and testing of spacecrafts, as well as their subsequent control in orbit.

The current orbital group of small spacecrafts for educational purposes of "AIST" series is the basis of the unique distributed space laboratory with ground and space segments. All these spacecrafts were created by the specialists of SRC "Progress" and the scientists of Samara University with the active participation of students.

NEW FRONTIERS

The unique design, engineering, technical, scientific, and educational potential of aerospace centres of Samara Region is in demand in the implementation of large-scale national and international projects, including the construction, organization of the first launch and further development of the newest Russian cosmodrome "Vostochny".

This also concerns the creation of a fundamentally new medium-class launch vehicle "Soyuz-5", as well as a super-heavy rocket complex. The beginning of their flight tests should take place in 2022 and 2028, respectively.

The question of organization of new rocket engines production in Samara on the basis of developed and manufactured NK-33 Rocket Engines, is also being considered. Private Russian space company S7 Space, which intends to use engines in the creation of its own reusable rocket, is ready to be a customer.
