International Translation Day Project Translation of the ROSCOSMOS video I prize: Prokhorova Valeria Lyceum # 37 Around half a century

ago our country started discovering space opening the era of its conquering. Fifty years have passed since Gagarin flew to space on the first spaceship Vostok and since that time Russia has become the centre of manned spaceflights. The UN has announced the 12th of April international day of manned flight. The whole world celebrate it according to the Russian calendar. The International Space Station. It is the humans outpost in the Earths orbit, the largest space object which has ever been made. Nowadays only Russia can launch spaceships with astronauts to the ISS. Russian Space Agency has a mission for several years to maintain and develop the space station, discover deep space. Space missions of the 21st century will begin in the Far East, in the Amur region. A new city and the most advanced spaceport "Vostochny" with four launch pads, a training complex for astronauts, hotels, a railway station and an airport will be soon built there in the taiga. Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, the Russian prime-minister, once said that the spaceport "Vostochny" was intended to confirm the high status and the leading position of Russia in that field. Nowadays our country chooses its own way to the stars. There are plans for the development of deep space for several decades in the new federal program. Now Russian scientists work on exploring space after a long break. The most advanced telescope "Radioastron was the first in a series of launches of automatical machines which should explore galaxy. Vladimir Popovkin the head of the Federal Space Agency says that they are planning to launch a space telescope in X-rays range to examine the same phenomena in 2013, one in the ultraviolet range in 2015. Now they are working on the space telescope in millimeter range which will be launched after 2015, may be in 2017. Scientific space inventions " Spectr XR ", "Spectr-UV ", "Millemetron", "Phobos soil". The Moon Globe" are going to continue space exploration as well as 'Radioastron.

Russia has made nearly half of all space launches in the world in recent years. The launch vehicle "Soyuz" which is the most reliable among such machines of middle class, is due to get one more registration. This new spot on the Soyz's geographical map is the spaceport named Kourou in French Guiana. The first Russian spaceship will be launched this autumn from the equator. Russian space is coming in everyone's life. The satellites "Resurs DK" and "Electro-L help to monitor wildfires and prevent disasters. GLONASS' satellites map the way for earthlings. This year the formation of the orbital constellation and international certification of GLONASS' system will be completed. Russia is ready to let the whole world use the signal of its navigation system free of charge. Space industry is the innovative engine that can make other sectors of our economy develop, space exploration advances fundamental and applied science.
