“Go!” – study aerospace technologies in Russia

2021 marks the 100th anniversary of the Soviet space program and the 60th anniversary of the first manned flight into space. On April 12, 1961, the Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin entered low-earth orbit on the first manned spacecraft Vostok-1. A little earlier, the USSR launched the first satellite, and in 1965 Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman astronaut.

These events marked the beginning of the space era of mankind, the rapid development of technology and the training of specialists in the design of the most modern aircraft.

Space exploration is possible thanks to the colossal work of qualified scientists, engineers and designers and their high level of education. Russian universities offer a range of programs to help you start a career in one of the most challenging and promising fields at the intersection of science and industry.

Samara National Research University named after academician S.P. Queen – a unique scientific and educational center, which trains future professionals in the field of aerospace technologies. On the basis of the university, work has always been carried out on the design of spacecraft, as well as military and civil aircraft, including the legendary Il-2 attack aircraft. University scientists took part in the most famous projects, including the “Vostok” program, thanks to which the world’s first manned, daily and group flights, as well as the first manned spacewalk, took place. Graduates of Samara University continue to develop the aerospace industry today in leading national and international organizations.

For foreign applicants, the university has prepared more than 30 programs in the areas of “Aviation and rocket-space technology” and “Air navigation and operation of aviation and rocket-space technology”. You can choose one of the Russian-language programs of any academic level: Design of aircraft engines and power plants, Aviation and air transportation, Advanced space technologies and experiments in space, Innovative technologies and quality management in aircraft construction, Rocket transport systems, etc. Or complete training in English: Aircraft Engines and Gas Turbine Engines and Power Plants Design and Design (jointly with Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (PRC)).

Saint Petersburg State University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics widely known for the high level of training of various specialists in engineering and technical profile. For those who want to develop in the aerospace field, the Motion Control and Navigation Systems program is suitable. Knowledge in the field of programming, big data analysis and control theory will allow you to become a unique specialist in highly accurate adjustment of various navigation systems.

You can continue your studies on the English-language master’s program in Rocket Complexes and Astronautics and include knowledge of modern digital technologies, robotics, 3D modeling, signal processing methods and software systems in your competencies.

Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology occupies a confident position as one of the permanent leaders in international subject rankings among the leading educational centers of a technical profile. Within the walls of MIPT, Nobel laureates Alexei Abrikosov, Vitaly Ginzburg, Pyotr Kapitsa, Lev Landau and many other famous scientists taught and worked. At the moment, among the graduates of the university there are more than 6,000 doctors of sciences, about 17,000 candidates of sciences and more than 150 members of the Russian Academy of Sciences. MIPT conducts fundamental training of specialists in mathematics, physics, computer science, chemistry and related disciplines. More than 60 international training programs are available to foreign applicants.

Pay attention to the Master’s program in Traffic Control Systems and Navigation at the Department of Aerophysical and Flight Experiment and the Department of Special Aircraft and Aviation Information and Measuring Systems. Its curriculum includes the disciplines of the research, analytical, design, development and production and technological spectrum, which will allow you to fully immerse yourself in the specifics of the aerospace industry. The MIPT PhD programs in aerodynamics, aircraft traffic control, information processing, etc. will help you reach a new academic level and start a career as a scientist.

First Moscow State Medical University named after I.M. Sechenov Is one of the few educational organizations in the world leading programs for medical personnel in the aerospace industry. The Aviation and Space Medicine residency prepares doctors who can ensure the health of the crew and the safety of passengers in difficult flight conditions. The training includes a large amount of practice on the basis of clinics with the most modern equipment, the use of interactive and multimedia technologies.

National Research Tomsk State University offers foreign applicants a wide range of technical programs, such as the Bachelor’s Degree in Ballistics and Hydro-Aerodynamics and the Master’s Degree in Ballistics of Missile-Barrel Systems. TSU will allow you to become a highly qualified specialist in the design and construction of spacecraft and rockets. Scientists from the university are actively working in this area and in March 2021 received a state grant for the project of ultralight rockets and solid-propellant rocket engines.
