Komi residents were informed that at the opening of the “Science 0+” festival, the rector of Moscow State University Viktor Sadovnichy shared his memories of meeting with Yuri Gagarin. The event was timed to the anniversary of the first human space flight.

Under the leadership of Sadovnichy, a centrifuge-simulator was developed, creating a feeling of weightlessness, for which the team was awarded a state award. Later, a new simulator appeared to help solve the problem of keeping your eyes in space, and this work also received an award.
