Rocket production facility, Russia
Rocket production facility. Workers standing next to rockets at the Progress State Research and Production Rocket Space Center (TsSKB-Progress) in Samara, Russia. This facility is where the Soyuz rockets are designed and constructed. Rocket building at this location began in 1958 under the Soviet Union, and the first Soyuz rockets were built here in 1966. More than 1700 Soyuz rockets were built over the next 40 years. The latest designs, in the early 21st century, are being used to carry crew and supplies to the International Space Station, as well as to launch commercial and military satellites. Each of the four boosters of a Soyuz rocket is around 20 metres long and 3 metres across. Photographed in 2006

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Russia's remarkable rocket production facility, located at the Progress State Research and Production Rocket Space Center (TsSKB-Progress) in Samara. Standing proudly next to towering rockets are a group of dedicated workers, showcasing their expertise and commitment to space exploration. Since its inception in 1958 under the Soviet Union, this facility has been instrumental in designing and constructing Soyuz rockets. In fact, it was here that the first Soyuz rockets were built back in 1966. Over the course of four decades, more than 1700 Soyuz rockets have been meticulously crafted within these walls. The cutting-edge designs showcased at this facility have played a crucial role in transporting crew members and supplies to the International Space Station. Additionally, they have facilitated countless launches of commercial and military satellites into orbit. Each booster rocket measures an impressive length of approximately 20 meters with a diameter spanning three meters. These powerful boosters exemplify human ingenuity combined with advanced technological prowess. This photograph provides us with a glimpse into a momentous era for Russian engineering and space exploration. It serves as a testament to the unwavering dedication exhibited by both men and women who tirelessly work behind-the-scenes to propel humanity further into the cosmos.
