Cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev awarded the winners and prize-winners of the "Star Relay"

Imagine 150 schoolchildren from all over Russia in one room, each of whom can change the world in the future. They show scientific, technical, biomedical, artistic, and literary projects, some of which could well find a place in adult competitions. Children between the ages of 6 and 18 are united by their love of space. The guys gathered in Korolev and demonstrated their talents to the experts.


In the same place, we saw the spacecraft on which Yuri Gagarin descended after the first flight, visited the full—size models of the Mir and Salyut-3 orbital stations, learned about rocket engines and cosmonauts, listened to interesting lectures (including from a test cosmonaut in a mock-up of a spacesuit!)


Andrey Fedyaev became the main character (after the winners, of course) at the award ceremony in the Moscow Palace of Pioneers. He became the 130th Russian cosmonaut and the 600th cosmonaut in history. In 2023, he traveled to the International Space Station on SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft. Andrey Fedyaev spent 185 days on the ISS.


Commemorative cups and books about space were presented to the winners, and the winners were awarded , including by the authors themselves. For example, Igor Afanasyev, co-author of The First Space Race: The Duel for Sputnik, was on the jury of the literary and journalistic section and signed autographs for children. Ekaterina Avsyannikova, author of the book "Alpha Orion. The mission Venus was also on the jury and at the award ceremony.

The books "Yuri Gagarin's Earth Orbits" by A. A. Simonov and "Cosmos" by Denis Prudnik and cosmonaut Alexander Lazutkin were also presented to children in separate categories.


The Russian vendor Infinit, with whom the Frontiers of Science Guild signed a cooperation agreement on April 12, 2025, awarded two participants with laptops. This is the first example of interaction between the Guild and the vendor for the implementation of educational projects.


The devices received projects from the scientific and technical section "Development of a cross-bend repeater for the MC Chelyabinsk-290" and "Voice assistant for cosmonaut".
