The participants giving their electronic project presentations will speak one by one according to their card numbers.

Let’s start our conference activity. Now I give the floor to speaker number one. Present yourself and your project, please.

Speaker 1: Hello, ladies and gentlemen! Let me introduce myself. My name is Ivan Ivanov. I am from Moscow. My project is called « The first in space». It is devoted to the first spaceman in the world Yuri Alexeyevich Gagarin. I’d like to present my project in an electronic way.

Yuri Alexeyevich Gagarin was born in the village of Klushino in Smolensk region on March 9, 1934, into the family of a farmer. When he was a schoolboy, his favorite subjects were physics and mathematics. He was fond of reading.

In 1951 he finished a vocational school in the town of Lyubertsy, near Moscow, and at the same time he finished an evening school. As far as I know, Yuri Gagarin began to fly while he was a student of a technical secondary school in Saratov. He was a member of an aeroclub. In 1955, he entered a flying school. Two years later he became a pilot and soon he joined the first group of Soviet cosmonauts.

On April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin flew into space for the first time in history. He spent 108 minutes there. When he came back in his spaceship Vostok, he was made a Hero of the Soviet Union and awarded the Order of Lenin and the Gold Star Medal.

Yuri Gagarin visited many countries. Millions of people saw him and listened to him. They greeted him as a great patriot of our country [1].

Yuri Alexeyevich Gagarin was a commander of cosmonaut group, he prepared to fly in a new spaceship. But he didn’t go into space again. He perished in 1968.

In conclusion, I’d like to say that Yuri Alexeyevich Gagarin made a great contribution to the world space science and we are proud of him. I am sure people will always remember him as the world’s first spaceman, a hero.

Thank you for your time.

Chairperson: Thank you for your interesting information about Yuri Alexeyevich Gagarin. Interpreters, will you translate, please?

Chairperson: Thank you for your translation.

Now I’d like the experts to ask some questions for additional information about developing space.

Questions for additional information about the World of Space Science.

  1. How do you think is science about space investigating necessary?
  2. Do you have a strong interest in space world science?
  3. Who made drawings of a flying machine in the fifteenth century?

Chairperson: I’d like to say thank you, dear experts, for your interesting questions to the speaker number one.

Now I give the floor to the speaker number two. I’d like to ask interpreters to take notes to translate the information from English into Russian. I’ll ask the experts to be ready to take notes too and ask some questions after speaking.

Speaker 2: Hi! I’m Virginia Brickman and I live in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. The theme of my project is « Who was the first man to stand on the Moon?  ». It is about Neil Armstrong. Neil Alden Armstrong (born August 5, 1930) is an American Aviator and a former astronaut, test pilot, aerospace engineer, university professor, and United States Naval Aviator. He was the first person ever to set foot on the Moon.

Before becoming an astronaut, Armstrong was in the United States Navy and saw action in the Korean War. After the war, he served as a test pilot at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) High-Speed Flight Station, now known as the Dryden Flight Research Center, where he flew over 900 flights in a variety of aircraft. As a research pilot, Armstrong served as project pilot on the F-100 Super Sabre A and C aircraft, F-101 Voodoo, and others. He graduated from Purdue University and the University of Southern California.

His first spaceflight was aboard Gemini 8 in 1966, for which he was the command pilot, becoming one of the first U.S. civilians to fly in space (Joseph Albert Walker was the first US civilian in space several years earlier). On this mission, he performed the first manned docking of two spacecraft together with pilot David Scott. Armstrong's second and last spaceflight was as mission commander of the Apollo 11 moon landing mission on July 20, 1969. On this mission, Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin descended to the lunar surface and spent 2½ hours exploring while Michael Collins remained in orbit in the Command Module. Armstrong is a recipient of the Congressional Space Medal of Honor. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in aeronautical engineering from Purdue University in 1955, and a Master of Science degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Southern California in 1970. He holds honorary doctorates from a number of universities.

On November 18, 2010 Neil Armstrong gave a speech during the Science & Technology Summit at the World Forum Convention Center in the Hague, in which he said that he would offer his services as commander on a mission to Mars, if he was asked (even though he was 80 years old at the time) [2].

To sum up, I’d like to say that we are proud of our citizen Neil Armstrong for his research work.

Thank you for your time.

Chairperson: Thank you for your useful and important information about Neil Armstrong. Interpreters, will you translate, please?

Thank you for your translation.

Experts:

  1. When and where was the first aeroplane in the world built?
  2. Who invented the model of the first spaceship?
  3. Do you know any Russian and foreign spacemen?

Chairperson: I’d like to say thank you, dear experts, for your interesting questions to the speaker number two. Now I give the floor to the speaker number three. I’d like to ask interpreters to take notes to translate the information from English into Russian. I’ll ask the experts to be ready to take notes too and ask some questions after speaking.

Speaker 3: Good afternoon, dear friends! My name is Anastasiya Petrova. I’m from Sretensk, Zabaikalsky Krai (Siberia). We live far from the centre of our country, but we are proud of famous cosmonaut Vladimir Georgievich Titov because he is our fellow- town man. I know he has got a very successful career. He flew into space four times. His first spaceflight was aboard « Union T-8» in April 1983. He was in space 2 days 17 minutes 48 seconds. Titov's second spaceflight with Musa Manarov had been lasted since December 1987 to December 1988. They also established a record by spending 4 hours 25 minutes in the open space. Then in February 1995 Titov took part in spaceflight aboard « Discovery». It was the first flight of a new Russian-American program. Titov's last spaceflight was in September 1997 aboard « STS-86». Our famous fellow- town man flew 387 days and nights, he was in the open space 18 hours 48 minutes. Vladimir Georgievich Titov is a Hero of the Soviet Union and has been awarded 2 Orders of Lenin, the Order of the Red Banner, Orders of Bulgaria and Afganistan and 2 medals of NASA. Summarize, I’d like to say that we will be always proud of Vladimir Georgievich Titov for his great contribution to space science.

Chairperson: Thank you for your interesting information about Vladimir Titov. Interpreters, will you translate, please?

Thank you for your translation.

Speaker 4: Good afternoon! Let me introduce myself. My name is Andrei Suyarkov. I live in Chita. I’d like to present my project about those cosmonauts who didn’t fly into space but made a great contribution to the world space science. The name of Yuri Anatol’evich Ponomaryov is well-known in Zabaikalsky Krai. He was born in Kadaya of Nerchinsk district. As far as I know, he had been in the detachment of spacemen since 1972. He was ready to fly into space with Nickolay Rukovishnikov in 1975 and Vladimir Kovalyonok in 1977. It’s a pity, he couldn’t fly into space, but he had performed great services for the Motherland. Yuri Anatol’evich Ponomaryov tested new diving- suits, flew the spaceships « Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin» and « Cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov». Since 1983 he had been the main specialist of the Central Research Institute of Machine- building. By the way, his wife, Valentina Leonidovna Ponomaryova, was Valentina Tereshkova’s back-up woman. In conclusion, I’d like to say that these people didn’t fly into space but we’ll always remember them because they made a valuable contribution to space science.

Thank you for your time.

Chairperson: Thank you for your cognitive information about Yuri Ponomaryov. Interpreters, will you translate, please?

Thank you for your translation.

3. Who was the oldest of all the space travelers?

Chairperson: I’d like to say thank you, dear experts, for your interesting questions to the speaker number four. Now I give the floor to the speaker number five. I’d like to ask interpreters to take notes to translate the information from English into Russian. I’ll ask the experts to be ready to take notes too and ask some questions after speaking.

Speaker 5: Hello, dear friends! I’m Mark Grigor’ev. I’m from Chita too. The theme of my project is « Those who, maybe, will fly to Mars». I’d like to tell you about those whose lives were bounded up with Zabaikalsky Krai. They haven’t flown into space yet, but they, maybe, will fly into space. Lieutenant-colonel Sergey Nickolaevich Ryzhikov is one of them. He had been serving as a commanding officer of pilots since 1997 in Zabaikalsky Krai. In 2009 he was given a qualification « Cosmonaut-tester». Last year he was tested to operate a spaceship. Now Sergey Nickolaevich Ryzhikov is training in Baikonur.

It is interesting to know that a cosmonaut-tester Evgeny Igorevich Tarelkin was born in Pervomaisk of Zabaikalsky Krai. He has been a spaceman since 2003. They say he is preparing on a mission to Mars in October 2012. It is known that his father, Igor Evgen’evich Tarelkin, served in Zabaikalsky Krai in 1970th. He is the Hero of Russia. I think that the son will be the hero too.
