Aerospace Engineering University of Moscow

Aerospace Engineering University of Moscow (National Research University) is very prestigious Higher Education Institution in the field of Aviation. Aerospace Engineering University of Moscow is a combination of Techno-park, classrooms, concentrated numerous scientific laboratories, 12 research and education centers, 7 resource centers, Pilot training Plant, airfield and social infrastructure. Aerospace Engineering University of Moscow was founded in 1930 to provide training of qualified personnel for the aviation industry. In 1925 Bauman Moscow State Technical University organized the aeromechanical department which was converted into aeromechanical faculty in 1930. March 20, 1930 Bauman Moscow State Technical University decided to open five specialized engineering schools. Aeromechanical School for Graduates was one of the school among them. Aeromechanical School for Graduates was organized with three divisions: aircraft manufacturing, Motors and aeronautics. In the spring of 1930 Aeromechanical School of Graduates enrolled the first set of 161 students in first year. On August 20, 1930 Aeromechanical School of Graduates was renamed into Aerospace Engineering University of Moscow. Aerospace Engineering University of Moscow was constantly working on the design and construction of aircraft of different types and their engines. From 1930 Aerospace Engineering University of Moscow has designed more than 200 types of aircraft and aircraft engines, including 26 aircraft, 25 helicopters, 30 gliders, 29 remotely piloted aircraft, 12 of artificial satellites LA 6, 11 aircraft with flapping wings, 10 underwater research vehicles and 44 aircraft engines. In 2009 Moscow Aviation Institute became one of the 12 universities receiving the category of “National Research University” . Currently, Aerospace Engineering University of Moscow is the only university in Russia which carries out training of qualified personnel in the entire field of Aviation products, rocket and space technology. Today Aerospace Engineering University of Moscow has administrative staff of 1218 in 102 departments. Since 1930, over 37000 students graduated from Aerospace Engineering University of Moscow. At present Aerospace Engineering University of Moscow has the volume of 8500 students.

Moscow City

Moscow is the capital of Russia, the largest city in the country and Europe, and one of the largest cities in the world. Moscow refers to global cities having a great influence on the world because of its high economic level and population. It is the main transport hub of Russia, its political, economic, cultural, and scientific center.

Moscow features

Moscow is located in the center of the European part of Russia, between the rivers Oka and Volga. The climate is moderate continental: heavy frosts and extreme heat are rare. The average temperature in January – minus 7.2 degrees Celsius, in July – plus 20.4 degrees Celsius.

The city has the status of a separate federal subject of the Russian Federation. It is the smallest federal subject by land area.

The name of the city as well as the names of many other cities around the world, is bound with the name of the river it is standing on (the Moskva River). The river was called this way long before the settlement appeared. It is unknown who named it and what this name means. There are two main versions: Finnio-Ugric and Slavic.

According to the first one, the word “Moskva” is derived from the Finno-Ugric language group which means “river-bear”. The Slavic theory points to the stem “mosk” denoting “marshy” or “moisture, liquid, marshland, dampness”.

The city is surrounded by 6 airports, 9 railway stations, and 3 river ports. Moscow has developed a fabulous metro (subway) system. The first stations were built in 1935.

Moscow is the largest Russian financial center. About half of Russian banks are located in Moscow. Most of the largest companies are registered and have head offices in Moscow, although their manufactures might be located thousands of km from the city.

The city is the most important center of retail sales in Russia. Moscow represents about 30% of all commodities sold in Russia.

Moscow is also a large scientific center. There are a lot of scientific research institutes carrying out research in many branches, such as nuclear power, microelectronics, space exploration and other promising directions.
