☄️Space guest: 10 years ago, a meteorite explodes in the atmosphere and it fell in Chelyabinsk, Central Russia. The force of the explosion was 500 kilotons in TNT equivalent. This is ten times bigger than the atomic blast that hit Hiroshima in 1945.

The blast wave and fragments from the meteorite damaged about 7,300 buildings. Roofs and walls collapsed, thousands of window panes flew out. More than 1,600 people needed medical attention, mostly due to lacerations. These cards contain five facts about the Chelyabinsk meteorite.

For eyewitness' stories of the disaster area, watch the film Chelyabinsk Skyfall. It was filmed in 2013 after the meteorite's explosion.

🧑🏼‍🚀 His childhood dream is about to come true. Konstantin Borisov will fly to the ISS in August of this year. He dreamed of visiting the stars as a child, so when Roscosmos announced the recruitment of cosmonauts Borisov decided this was his chance. He passed all the doctors' checks, exams, and tests and in 2018 got accepted into the space squad. Now he is preparing for his first trip into orbit. Our journalists are shooting a new film about this unusual man, and we provide the first footage here.

Borisov is used to participate in the filming. He was already one of the main characters of the documentary To Be a Cosmonaut (2019), which features those who passed the selection of Roscosmos six years ago.

🚀Sixty years ago, the flight of the first female cosmonaut, Valentina Tereshkova, took place. Her solo mission aboard the spacecraft Vostok 6 was a great historical event not only for the Soviet Union, but for all mankind.

Tereshkova aspired to rocket into space as a young girl: she parachuted and made more than one hundred jumps. Thanks to her sporting success and physical prowess, she eventually became chosen to be the first female to conquer space.

Today, Vladimir Putin awarded Tereshkova the Order of Gagarin, making her the first person to receive the new state award. See the video of her flight and discover some amazing facts about Valentina in our visual cards. Which one do you find the most surprising?
