Visit Russia’s Plesetsk Space Center

Plesetsk Space Center in Arkhangelsk Oblast is Russia’s only and the world’s northernmost space center. It is listed as one of the Russian Armed Forces’ top secret installations.

Location

At the space center the Angara launch facility is currently under construction. It is designed to put heavy payloads into orbit and will reduce Moscow’s dependence on Kazakhstan’s Baikonur, the main launch facility for the current generation of Russian rockets.
