Star City, Russia's Cosmonaut Training Center

Proton M Rocket
Graduates of the training center who are qualified to travel into space are launched from the Baikonour Cosmodrome, a facility located far from Star City in Kazakshtan. The rockets that take off from Baikonour are manufactured at other places in Russia. This Proton M rocket — which will carry satellite technology into orbit — was produced at Khrunichev, a plant in Moscow.
