This is one of the most important rooms of the building – the center where duty officers spend all their time…
Making the constant analysis of information about the outer space environment, coming from radars and other special devices, and giving all necessary recommendations to ensure the safety of Russia and the International Space Station.

A. Bunka here, there, and everywhere.
If this is Space Command, wouldn’t that make the Colonel, the Space Commander?
Why does Space Command need sappers?
I know this is for real because of what the young officer said about the communication from NASA, ““Look at what Americans have just sent to us”, says the officer. “Whichever way you look at it, you’ll understand nothing”
Of course, all communications from the US government are written in a secret code, known only to bureaucrats, even messages that are meant to be understood by the public are in this code. It is designed to confuse an already confused populace and discourage any kind of response, or participation, from
non-governmental personnel.
All joking aside, it’s good the Russians look out for space debris, pressure like this may discourage the Chinese from testing their weapons in space and making a mess in orbit the way they did a few years ago.
Don’t think those are sappers. However, it makes perfect sense for their presence. To defend the base from attack. After all thats the sort of thing that Spetsnaz are trained for. But they wont be expecting Spetsnaz, more likely Rangers or Green Berets. Thats if hostilities oocur, though.
Protect them from attack? Isn’t this base IN Russia?
So what if it is? If anyone ever should attack Russia, this base would be pretty high on their priority target list. Pretty obvious, I thought.
All those space debris was left by the Russian and US over long period of time, yet when China did it for the first time it’s criticized, that just pure bias.
China intentionally detonated a satellite killer and endangered very expensive satellites from all nations.
Fascinating post, right Archy? No need to worry about UFO’s. We are our own worst enemy. Can you imagine if the U.S. And Russia cooperated 100% on space travel/tech? We could go anywhere in this Solar System; we’d have bases on the Moon or Mars. With the cooperating brain power we’d be decades ahead of where we are now…
Russian companies have begun to plan a space ferry that will travel between the moon and earth, a project with foresight.
Man will have a place in space exploration, but there are huge technical and physical hurdles to be overcome. I believe that computers and automation will advance to the point where man in space will be largely symbolic. It is disappointing that Russian/American cooperation in space looks like it will die with the ISS, you are correct.
(r)evolutionist: You are a smart man. I think this will actually happen.
Thank you, kind friend.
Interesting pics. I’m sure this is just one small command station. Didn’t see anyone higher than a colonel. The Russian national space command headquarters control center would have at least one general on duty at all times, in case of a known/suspected hostile ICBM launch. Far as what the Americans sent, it wouldn’t be in code at all, but most likely in a mutually-agreed upon format the average person wouldn’t know anything about. When you are dealing with space launches and anything that could pose a problem either way, you want to make VERY sure the people on the other end understand exactly what you are telling them. No, this is just a small space command detachment. The troops in training are the local guards. The actual space operations people won’t be marching around doing this stuff; they’ll be training on their space operational mission.
It will be the Russians who will forge ahead in space exploration. They have dealt with economic uncertainty much longer than the US and they realized that technology and research are what will bring them into the future. Here in the states we are still trying to decide if Chaz Bono is allowed to go on Dancing with the Stars rather than worrying about saving our own way of life and enhancing it.
Chaz Bono is a national embarrassment but America will survive, lol.
As far as weighting who is in ahead in the space race, when you consider the USAF is operating an automated shuttle, and that American satellites can land, takeoff, and land again on asteroids, you make the call.
Chaz Bono?? Is that a new east African hominid?? Lucy’s Brother??
Remember the John Denver song “Looking for Space”?? The old joke was “He needs to look between his ears!”
Can’t wait till experts come here to comment on “Why Russian space base doesn’t look like expensive hollywood movie decorations”, which as the matter of fact are costly and useless.
This facility is efficient and simple to the degree of perfect balance between the realm where human understanding can reaches the complexity.
Behold the Earthmen shield against the God damned Martian intruders!
I just hope the Russians are better at flying in space than they are at driving cars around the streets
They are. They can give you a lift to space in Soyuz.
well lets see- if you want to get people into space- which country can get you into orbit, with (altho dated) very reliable equipement???
and which country has to `bum a lift’ if they want to get to orbit???
enough said…
What I took away from these photos is “man, I love goulash!”? I should probably eat something.
You are a European, sir!
If this post had been sent by neutrino light, we would have read it yesterday…
The Russian officer can’t make heads or tails of the American report. Must’ve been sent by a Texan…
Nice
