UP IN SPACE
FROM THE
SOVIET BLOC
Year of production: 2011
Twenty years remain before the first
manned flight to Mars. While there is
so much to learn and plan, the main
danger concerns the astronauts
mental health. Five-hundred days in
a small spacecraft can bring on mania
or psychosis. How will these future
conquerors of the Red Planet adapt?

The Soviet Union enabled cosmonauts
from GDR, Afghanistan and Poland
to visit space. They returned to their
countries heroes, honored, glorified,
called “Pride of the Nation”. All this
changed with the collapse of the
Soviet Union. Why are those heroes
forgotten today? How do those “Soviet”
cosmonauts from GDR, Afghanistan
and Poland live now?

THE FIGHT
FOR “SALYUT”
SPACE STATION
Year of production: 2011
Astrophysicists warn us of the extremely high probability that a ‘cosmic killer’ – a large asteroid, meteorite,
or comet – will collide with the Earth. So if the human race does not want to share the fate of the dinosaurs, we
should immediately start work on creating an international system to protect against the intrusion of celestial
bodies into the Earth's atmosphere. Do you feel that the dangers are being exaggerated? Footage shot in the
Russian city of Chelyabinsk shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was only sheer luck that prevented
millions of residents becoming the victims of a meteorite strike. However, it is worth noting that these lumps of
rock falling from space bring more than just bad news for humanity. Scientists who study the composition of
meteorites falling to Earth are finding more and more traces of microorganisms. This means that in all likelihood
there is life out there in space...

SHUTTERSTOCK
Spring, 1985. At the Soviet space
launching pad Cosmodrome Baikonur,
cosmonauts Vladimir Dzhanibekov
and Viktor Savinykh prepare for their
mission. But few people know it could
be their last flight. While in orbit they
must save the world by stopping
space station “Salyut” – having lost its
navigation system – from crashing to
Earth. If the mission fails, they must
leave its orbit and burn in the dense
layers of the atmosphere.
