This is where the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center, established in 1960, is located. The town is closed to the public and can only be accessed via a guided tour or as a candidate for a space flight. The first option is easier.
What can you see?
For instance, the local CF-18 centrifuge, the largest in the world. This simulator tests how well humans can withstand space-related g-forces. In a special pool, conditions of weightlessness are simulated, and various space scenarios are practiced. There are also other simulators, space suits, and models of spacecraft.
The Center’s museum houses Yuri Gagarin’s personal belongings, items that have been to space, and scientific equipment used by cosmonauts.
If you want to experience weightlessness yourself, you can fly aboard the IL-76 MDK training aircraft. It allows you to feel lunar and Martian gravity.
To book a tour, reservations must be made 21 working days in advance, and foreign citizens need to book 60 days in advance.
