This is an educational cartoon for children about space, in which we assemble a rocket and learn about how a rocket is built, how a rocket flies into space, how a rocket is delivered to the launch site, and also why day and night change on Earth, what the polar lights are and much more. Dear viewers, we invite you to take an excursion to the Mizyaka-Dizyaka cosmodrome and fly into space on our rocket to see the Earth, the Moon, the Sun and the stars from orbit! You will learn what parts a rocket consists of, why it needs stages and what a launch vehicle is, how a rocket engine works and what fuel it runs on, what reactive force is, how a rocket is placed in a vertical position and launched into space, what the polar lights are and why they occur, how day and night change on Earth, what happens if you spill juice in zero gravity, what astronauts eat in orbit and how they return to Earth, why a spaceship starts to glow when entering the atmosphere, and much, much more interesting stuff! Fans of trains and locomotives, in the cartoon you will see diesel locomotives and hear the sound of wheels on the railroad tracks! Of course, there is some fiction in our cartoon. Anticipating your questions, I will try to answer some of them :). 1) We had to move away from the option with a fairing (a cap that is put on the spacecraft and which flies off together with the emergency rescue system before the separation of the side blocks) - for purely aesthetic reasons - due to the fact that the camera leads the viewer inside the ship. In real rockets, the fairing is an important part that helps reduce air resistance when entering orbit. 2) In our cartoon, the spacecraft changes the inclination of its orbit quite abruptly (almost from the pole to the equator) - because we really wanted to show different views of the Earth. But satellites are not yet capable of such a change in orbital inclination. According to our plan, the rocket is launched in the Russian Far East (where the new Vostochny Cosmodrome is located) and its separated stages fall one by one into the Pacific Ocean. About 10 minutes later, the Mizyak-Dizyak manned transport ship already enters orbit and becomes an artificial satellite of the Earth. First, it flies over New Zealand, then Antarctica, then Europe and the Northwest and Far East of Russia, before changing its orbital tilt and starting to move against the Earth's rotation. 3) We decided to add a talking onboard computer to the cartoon, which reports information about the flight, and entrust the negotiations with the Mission Control Center to the presenter's voice, adding a special radio sound effect. 4) The gliding descent of the command module to Earth usually takes several hours - but our cartoon shows only a few seconds of this process. 5) At the end of the cartoon, children will certainly be happy to see a familiar tug from our previous series "Constructor". In reality, a large aircraft carrier is used to transport a spacecraft that has landed on water. 6) The astronauts take drinking water and other drinks not in packages like in our cartoon, but in soft bags with a straw. We decided to show what would happen if you tried to drink juice or water from an ordinary bottle. And one last note: for those who are interested in what the clock on board our spacecraft shows, the time is set to Greenwich Mean Time. We selected music and sound effects that would not scare even little ones (we tested it on our 3-year-old son Danechka :) ) So get comfortable and turn up the speakers. Listen to the roar of the cosmodrome during the rocket launch! We wish you an exciting journey! Leave your comments, ask questions, we will be very interested to read them. We tried very hard to make it in time for Cosmonautics Day and please our young viewers. This cartoon is the result of nine months of work! As they say, check it out :) And here are a few more interesting facts from the field of astronautics: The area of ​​one parachute for a re-entry spacecraft is the size of a football field. The launch of a spacecraft or satellite into orbit is carried out in about 10 minutes. The ISS (International Space Station) makes one revolution around the Earth in an hour and a half. Upon entering the atmosphere, the air around the descent ship turns into fiery plasma. Its color changes from yellow to purple as the temperature increases. The ship is covered with a special heat-resistant casing that protects it from overheating.
