Soyuz carrier rocket monument, Space memorial in Samara, Russia
The Soyuz carrier rocket monument displays a genuine R-7 11A511 rocket mounted vertically on a dedicated building structure reaching 50 meters high. The rocket is painted in distinctive white and orange colors and rests upon a solid support system designed to hold its considerable weight.
The rocket was originally used for training purposes at Plesetsk Cosmodrome before being relocated to this site in 2001. The monument marks the 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's first space flight and honors Soviet space exploration history.
The monument sits in a central location where locals and visitors pass through daily, serving as a symbol of Soviet space achievement. People often stop to photograph it or pause to look up at the towering rocket.
The monument sits at the intersection of Lenina Avenue and Novo-Sadovaya Street, making it easy to locate in the city. The adjacent museum welcomes visitors regularly and displays exhibits related to space exploration and Soviet achievements.
A striking detail is that the rocket itself weighs approximately 20 tons, while the support structure beneath it weighs about 53 tons. This proportion reveals the enormous engineering requirements needed to safely display such a monument.
