EspañolSTAR CITY, RUSSIA
(Redirected from Star City, Moscow)
.jpg)
'Star City' (, ''Zvyozdny Gorodok'' or ''Starry Town'') is a highly restricted military facility northeast of Moscow, served by Chkalovskoye/Airport Chkalovskiy airfield, where cosmonauts have been trained at the Gagarin Cosmonauts Training Centre (GCTC) since the 1960s.
In the Soviet era the town was a highly confidential and secured area, isolated from the rest of the world. Today, many Russian cosmonauts live in ''Star City'' with their families. The town has its own post office, shops, railway station and a museum of space travel.
In the mid- to late 1990s, groups of select students from the high school in Star City participated in the Russian American Cultural Exchange Program (RACE). Students first hosted, then visited, American counterparts attending the 5 high schools in the Sewanhaka Central High School District on Long Island.
