Now this vehicle is situated right next to the Gagarin Museum at the Baikonur cosmodrome. It's kind of unsettling to come out of the building and find this right next door. alexpgp.

The construction of the building had been implemented from 1966 to 1968. In 1995 the building was transferred for operation to DB «Vympel». In 2011 ATB was handed for operation to «Space Center «Yuzhny» (filial «TsENKI»). Baikonur Cosmodrome Site 31 in Baikonur, Kazakhstan. Space Adventures, Ltd.

Gagarin's pad

Space center in Baikonur originated as a test launch site for the R-7 ICBM developed at Sergei Korolev's design bureau. The original facilities of the test range founded in 1955 included a single launch pad at Site 1, and an assembly building, known as MIK-2, located at Site 2. The processing area and the launch pad were connected by a railway. The first R-7 rocket blasted off from Site 1 in Tyuratam on May 15, 1957. The world's first artificial satellite was launched from the same pad on October 4, 1957. Baikonur Cosmodrome Site 31. After several years a new manned spaceflight was conducted from LC31.

Baikonur (Kazakh: Байқоңыр; Russian: Байконур), formerly known as Leninsk, is a city in Kyzylorda Province of Kazakhstan rented and administered by Russia.

It was constructed to service the Baikonur Cosmodrome and was officially renamed Baikonur by Boris Yeltsin on December 20, 1995. The shape of the area rented is an ellipse, measuring 90 kilometres east to west, by 85 kilometres north to south, with the cosmodrome at the centre.
