The chief of staff of the Titov Main Testing Space Center, Colonel Roman Vinokurov, said that the Russian orbital constellation includes more than 160 spacecraft.

“The orbital constellation of spacecraft in Russia today includes more than 160 spacecraft, of which about 70 percent are under the control of our center,” Vinokurov said in an interview with the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper.

As a reminder, on October 5, the Soyuz MS-19 spacecraft will launch from the Baikonur cosmodrome, on which the film crew of the first ever feature film in open space will go to the ISS. The film crew will act as flight engineers. The seat of flight engineer-1 to the left of the commander will be occupied by Klim Shipenko, and flight engineer-2 to the right will be occupied by Yulia Peresild. Near Julia's chair there is a valve for supplying oxygen to the descent vehicle, and to the left of Klim – a valve for supplying oxygen to spacesuits in case of depressurization or fire, as well as air ventilation dampers.
