On September 15 at 14:00, a meeting will be held in the Academic Council hall with the head of the Yuri A. Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center, commander of the Roscosmos cosmonaut detachment, Hero of Russia, full bearer of the Order “For Merit to the Fatherland”, cosmonaut pilot Oleg Kononenko.
How does the perception of time change when the sun rises 16 times a day? What do you feel being weightless in a metal capsule at an altitude of 400 kilometers above the planet? How to combine space exploration and life on Earth? Students of the State University of Management will be able to ask a true planetary legend about this and much more.
Oleg Kononenko was the first in world history to exceed 1,000 days in orbit and set an absolute world record for total time spent by a human in space. He said goodbye to Earth five times and spent a total of more than 3 years beyond our planet.
Don’t miss the chance to ask a question to the person who has seen Earth from space more than anyone else in history
The meeting will take place as part of the “People of My Country” project, thanks to which politicians, public figures, bloggers, and artists come to our university with open lectures to share their life experiences and personally demonstrate how to achieve success and be a worthy citizen of their country.
For example, the Director of the Department of Information and Press of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Maria Zakharova, previously visited the State University of Management.
