History and starting point: from 1965 to renovation

The planetarium has its own starting point. It 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 of Earth by the Soviet Union, Yuri Gagarin's flight, the landing of a human on the surface of the Moon. 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. The 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 to 100%."

The finish is near: inspection, details and final work

The object's readiness is over 90%. Only minor details remain.

Pavel Zdanovich, foreman: "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-time work. So that astronomy enthusiasts can observe the Sun during the day, and in the evening - planets with satellites and the brightest star clusters. More often they looked at the sky and saw things that cannot be noticed with the naked eye.
