Baku hosts World premiere of Cradle to Cosmos exhibition by United States Space & Rocket Center

The world premiere of the Cradle to Cosmos exhibition by the United States Space & Rocket Center was held at the Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku.
Director of the Heydar Aliyev Center Anar Alakbarov thanked President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation Mrs Mehriban Aliyeva for her assistance in organizing the exhibition.
CEO of the United States Space & Rocket Center Deborah Barnhart thanked the Heydar Aliyev Center for organization of the exhibition.
Deborah Barnhart noted that Azerbaijan would be one of the partners of the United States Space & Rocket Center.
Chairman of Alabama Space Science Exhibit Commission Roosevelt Lewis, in turn, said that the exhibition showcases not only exhibits that reflect the astronautics' past successes.
"It also demonstrates the exhibits, which I believe, will inspire our peoples for new successes in the astronautics."
Azerbaijani Hero of the Soviet Union Musa Manarov also addressed the event.
More than 100 unique exhibits are demonstrated at the exhibition.
These include the spatial stations, original particles delivered from cosmic space and other planets, pieces and models of satellites, aeronaut suits and accessories, and particles of meteorites.
One of the exhibits of special interest is sample brought from moon. The sample, found by astronaut David Scott during the American space mission Apollo 15, was brought from the U.S. to Baku for the opening of the exhibition.
Two exhibited meteorites, a Soviet era space suit, a small-scale replica of "Mir" space station, and Apollo-Soyuz spaceship, as well as ten different simulators and other exhibits provide an opportunity to familiarize with the activities in the field of astronautics.
