Special Programmes
Days at the museum arranged as an ordinary tour never could be
What these are
Special programmes are not tours. They last a full day, involve hands-on work and give access where the ordinary route does not go: the workshop, the reserve, the working simulators.
Groups are small, from six to twelve people. A programme is led not by a guide but by a specialist member of staff — a restoration engineer or a collection curator.
Engineer Day
A full day with a restoration engineer: the morning at the workshop bench, the day in the HANGAR-Z reserve, the evening working through the drawings of the machine you handled. Ages 16+, groups of up to eight.
Cosmonaut Training
A programme with the docking simulator, fitting elements of a spacesuit, the weight-relief rig and a planetarium session. It ends with a test: few manage to dock on the first attempt. Ages 14+.
