The idea of uniting astronautics enthusiasts arose a long time ago. In the absence of mechanisms for this, in 2015 the concept of an open space school was born from below, similar to those that have long been held for young journalists or scientists. This will make it possible to introduce current trends and trends in the space industry to people interested in astronautics, but living in different cities of Russia and even in other countries. Perhaps for some this can become a guiding light when choosing a profession or changing occupation. The first school was held in July 2015 in Ivanteevka. Less than a year has passed since the Second Open Summer Space School took place in Moscow from June 25 to July 1.
