The teleconference between the Mission Control Center and the International Space Station took place on the eve of Russian Student Day. The participants in the dialogue asked questions to the Russian test cosmonaut Pyotr Dubrov, who went into orbit around the planet in April last year. Representatives of the ����Vlog��ý MIREA Student Television #Vkurse, which are part of the Youth Media Center under the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, and the administration of the Pacific State University, got in touch with the astronaut.

Pyotr Dubrov was born in Khabarovsk, where, after studying at the university, he became a software engineer. His space preparation for the long-awaited flight began in 2012 when he filed the documents for the first open competition in Roscosmos. The positive result of a long selection, his character and desire to make dreams come true became a new step in the space activities of the 125th cosmonaut of Russia.

“I would like to wish students, first of all, not to lose faith in their dreams and constantly strive for them. Over the years, we forget about our dreams in childhood, adolescence, and because of this, sometimes we cannot achieve our goals in life. In fact, everything is possible in this world, you need not lose your desire and keep working, then the highest orbits will be accessible to many. I would like to convey huge words of gratitude to teachers and professors of universities for their help in the formation of personalities, shaping us as professionals in various environments,” said Peter in his words of congratulations.

In the Mission Control Center, astronauts of the International Space Station communicate with the Earth, and control is exercised over a large number of spacecraft of various classes. In parallel, scientific research is being carried out, and navigation methods are being developed.

Vladislav Vaitman, editor-in-chief of the Student Television of ����Vlog��ý MIREA #Vkurse, during a communication session, asked several questions to the cosmonauts in orbit, and found out that with the reception of two new modules “Science” and “Prichal”, as well as the active introduction of advanced equipment, the lifespan of the ISS increased to continue operation for many years. In particular, with the development of a multi-zone electric vacuum furnace and other elements inside the module and universal workstations outside, the prospects for conducting numerous scientific experiments have largely expanded.

“Emotions after the latest communication session are indescribable. I have never thought that in life I would be able to communicate directly with astronauts and ask questions that are of interest not only to me, but also to the students of our country. It's great to watch people who, despite the circumstances in life, were able to fulfill their dreams, became cosmonauts and flew into the orbit of the planet,” Vladislav Vaitman shared his impressions.

In recent years, space has become more accessible for human exploration, and universities are creating new megalaboratories to train students. The Educational and Scientific Center for Space Monitoring has recently appeared at ����Vlog��ý MIREA, where future graduates study spacecraft in near-Earth space. The presence of modern equipment and highly qualified teaching staff make it possible to study all known satellite signals, as well as to carry out work in the field of space and environmental control systems.
