World Day of Aviation and Astronautics!

Dear Colleagues!

On behalf of the Presidium of the "StekloSouz" Association of Russia and on my own behalf, I congratulate you on the World Day of Aviation and Cosmonautics!

On April 12, 1961, the whole world was shocked by the announcement of the beginning of a new era of space flight.

On this day, the Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin flew around the planet Earth in the orbiting spacecraft "Vostok".

Until that moment, there were launches of artificial satellites into space, but on this day, man first conquered space. This was a giant breakthrough in the history of astronautics, and today there are already thousands of satellites in space, spacecraft landed on the Moon and Venus, and an active study of the solar system has begun.

The first manned flight was the most difficult and dangerous, but the desire to conquer space of many thousands of people who took part in the preparation of the flight overcame all obstacles.

In honor of this historic event, April 12 is celebrated all over the world as the World Day of Aviation and Astronautics.

Glass products are widely used in aviation and space exploration. Great scientific developments and systematic high-quality work at each stage of implementation give high guarantees of the safety of using all types of glass products. The glass industry is an integral part and faithful assistant in human space exploration.

We are proud of our joint achievements!

We wish you many new exciting, fruitful travels in space exploration!

Go!

President of "StekloSouz" of Russia
