First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov and National Security Advisor to the Prime Minister of India Ajit Doval visited the National Space Centre named after Valentina Tereshkova. During their visit, the foreign delegation was given a tour that fully showcased the achievements of Russian space exploration. The guests viewed the space technology exhibit at the Roscosmos Joint Industry Information Centre, a facility created for monitoring and analysing large volumes of data and for the future management of the Russian Orbital Station.
During their visit, Denis Manturov and Ajit Doval spoke live with members of the Russian International Space Station crew — Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, Andrey Fedyaev, and Sergey Mikaev. The cosmonauts described their spacewalk and shared their impressions of working with new equipment, which, according to them, saves the crew’s energy and allows them to perform tasks more efficiently.
At the end of their tour, the guests visited the Roscosmos United Industry Information Centre (UIIC), where they viewed a space technology exhibit. In particular, models of the world’s most powerful four-chamber liquid-propellant rocket, the core module of the Russian Orbital Station, and other exhibits were on display. The Russian and Indian representatives also discussed prospects for cooperation in the space industry.
