Korolev aerospace museum, Aerospace museum at Samara State Aerospace University, Russia
The Korolev aerospace museum is a collection housed within Samara State Aerospace University that focuses on Russian aviation development, Soviet space achievements, and the university's own history. Its galleries are organized into three main sections to present different aspects of flight and space exploration.
The museum opened in 1977 within Samara State Aerospace University, which grew out of the Kuibyshev Aviation Institute founded during World War II. This founding story connects the museum to a long tradition of aerospace research and development in the city.
The displays feature personal documents and original artifacts from Soviet space programs that visitors can examine closely and understand through hands-on experience. These objects tell the stories of the people who worked in aerospace and make their contributions feel real and immediate.
Visitors can join guided tours, educational workshops, lectures, film screenings, and special events held regularly throughout the year. Checking ahead for current programming helps you plan which activities align with your visit.
The collection includes the Photon spacecraft module, a recovery capsule from the Jantar-2K satellite, and space food samples used by cosmonaut Romanenko. These objects come directly from Soviet missions and offer insight into daily life in orbit.
