Last trip to Baikonur in 2017 (Beware! Huge traffic!)

Post by ivan.akapulko »

During the last trip in the beginning of the month I had one free day before leaving. And considering that to Baikonur was only 270 kilometers on a beautiful road, the decision was obvious.

Despite the lack of time, I did fresh photos from the cosmonautics Museum (where the exposition of new models, particularly a full-size copy of the platform "Sea launch"). In summer during the holidays I hope to get to the rocket launch and rollout from its hangar.





P.S. Paul, how to rotate pics? :-?
