ArmInfo. The Russian cosmonaut Sergei Ryazansky published photographs of Yerevan from outer space.
"Yerevan is not like other capitals - people here are in no hurry, the city is moving at its measured pace, and the Cascade, one of the symbols of Yerevan, is known far beyond its borders." By the way, I take this opportunity to send space greetings to friends at the Russian embassy in Armenia " , Ryazansky wrote on his Facebook page.

It should be noted that Armenia, with the assistance of the State Corporation for Space Activity Roscosmos, intends to actively participate in the implementation of various space programs. This should be largely helped by the long-term (until 2020) program of cooperation with Roskosmos, which provides for the launch of a communications satellite, the modernization of the Burokan Astrophysical Observatory, the deployment of GLONASS stations in the country and preparations for the launch of the first Armenian astronaut. One of the priorities of the program is the stationing of stations of the global navigation system GLONASS in Armenia. The first batch of equipment for the new system has already been delivered to the republic. It is curious that in the new global system, nuclear technologies began to be actively used.
