Space Infrastructure — Photography of Cosmodromes and Rocket Launches
This section features photographs of rocket and space industry facilities and ground-based space infrastructure. The archive contains shots from the territories of cosmodromes, launch complexes, and technical sites. The photography covers key stages of flight preparation: from the assembly of launch vehicles and spacecraft in assembly and testing facilities (MIKs) to their transportation by rail to the launch pad. Special attention is given to spectacular moments of rocket launches and the operation of propulsion systems during liftoff from the launch structure. Aerial photography vividly conveys the colossal scale of launch complexes, mobile service towers, and the overall territory of cosmodromes. High-resolution photographs capture in detail the complex engineering of the facilities, the work of industry specialists, and the technical equipment of the sites ensuring the dispatch of missions into orbit.
