The planetarium has its own starting point. Its history began in July 1965. At that time, the drive to explore space became one of the powerful engines of progress. The launch of the first artificial satellite by the Soviet Union, Yuri Gagarin's flight, and the landing of a human on the lunar surface. There were many guests. The equipment and the building itself had deteriorated. Time requires updates.
Large-scale reconstruction: what was done inside and outside
Pavel Zdanovich, foreman: "A comprehensive dismantling work has been completed throughout the planetarium. That is, the roof, the dome, the dome cover were all removed. Inside, all finishing works were also dismantled: floors, walls, partitions. A rearrangement was carried out. Internal engineering networks were also dismantled – water supply, heating, ventilation. All of this was replaced with new. All work on engineering networks has now been completed, that is, heating, water supply, ventilation. The finishing work has been completed at 100%."
The finish is near: inspection, details and final works
The object's readiness is over 90%. Only minor details remain.
"The project is currently under inspection. Design solutions are being refined, new ones are being issued. We are refining literally 5–10%. We are passing inspection and completing all remaining work."
Ahead is the installation of equipment and preparation of the site for full operation. So that astronomy enthusiasts can observe the Sun during the day, and in the evening – planets with their satellites and the brightest star clusters. They looked at the sky more often and saw things that cannot be noticed with the naked eye.
