Postcard from Russia.




Russian spaceport is located in the desert steppe of Baikonur, about 200 kilometre, east of the Aral Sea and north of the river Syr Darya.The spaceport is currently leased by the Kazakh Government to Russia until 2050, and is managed jointly by the Roscosmos State Corporation and the Russian Aerospace Forces.
Russia's humanoid space robot Skybot F-850 was  launched toward the International Space Station on Aug. 22, 2019.It was  a test flight so that Russian cosmonauts wouldn't have to risk their lives testing whether their Soyuz spacecraft could safely fly on an upgraded Soyuz 2.1a rocket. The mission was part of verification process by Russia's space agency Roscosmos .
Thank you Evgeniya from BAIKONUR for the magnificent space station card and beautiful stamps.
