Applicants, attention!
Each of you, graduating from school, asks the question: “ Where to go to study?“Higher education is needed - everyone knows that. Getting higher education has always and at all times has been and is one of the most prestigious and promising types of human activity. But modern higher education in the exact and natural sciences is far from easy. This is due to the fact that this sphere of human activity is fantastically complex and the fact that it is the people who have devoted themselves to this very complex, albeit interesting business, who build modern civilization. The rest of the professions are also needed. They will provide us with legal protection, serve us, protect, entertain, educate, but only the technically educated part of humanity creates the appearance of our civilization, creates our habitat.
The highest demands made by people for all technical aspects of their existence (housing, transport, communications, etc.) also make high demands on the creators of our technogenic civilization, and, consequently, on the process of their education. That is why, as a rule, only well-trained applicants become talented engineers who can create something really new.
The basic knowledge gained at school is the basis for successful education in technical universities. But, in order to get a higher education at the Aerospace Faculty of the Moscow Aviation Institute, it is necessary, in addition to knowledge, to have at least a little bit of romance, the desire to learn the unknown, the desire to look into the distant Cosmos and experience, if not delight, then at least awe from all the achievements taking place right now before the eyes of Earthlings, watching on television screens the titanic and dangerous work of astronauts, provided by scientists and developers of rocket and space technology.
If you have all these qualities, then the question: "Where to go to study?" you should have a very clear answer.
Having entered to study at the Aerospace Faculty of MAI, you will receive a higher professional education in the development and design of rocket and space technology and:
- you will be able to get fundamental physical and mathematical, general engineering and special training;
- you will perfectly master software and computing facilities, computers, you will be able to study a foreign language in depth, master the basics of management and marketing;
- in parallel with training in the main specialty with good academic performance, you will be able to get a second higher education - additional specialization in other fields of knowledge and the most promising fields of science and technology in the specialties of the faculty;
- with good academic performance - you can also get a second higher education in economics, mathematics, linguistics.
- with good academic performance, you will participate in international programs of educational and cultural exchange of students.
Institute of Space Technology (also known as IST) is a public university located in Islamabad, Pakistan focused on the study of astronomy, aerospace engineering and astronautics. Founded in 2002 under the auspices of the Pakistan National Space Agency. IST offers a wide range of undergraduate and graduate degrees in partnership between Beihang University and the University of Surrey. Since 2008, IST has an ISO certified management standard. IST is based on 73 acres on a campus on the outskirts of Islamabad.
ICube-1
Institute of Space Technology On November 21, 2013, Pakistan's first Cubesat satellite, ICube-1, was launched aboard the Dnepr booster rocket from the launch of Yasny Base, Russia. Its transmitted signal can be heard on the VHF band. It has a mass of 1.1 kg and has a volume of 10 cm cube, it contains several sensors for collecting data for scientific purposes. ICube-1 is a fully autonomous satellite and is able to maintain its health using its on-board computer. ICube-1 will open up a wide range of future experiments that could be carried out at Cubesat in imaging, microgravity, biology, nanotechnology, space dynamics, chemistry, space physics, and various other fields. Cubesat satellites can also provide a test bed for developing satellite constellations for specific applications.

The event includes over a dozen extra-curricular competitions such as tantrums, short film, all rounder, Mushaira and Battle of the Groups. Recently, the name of this event has now been replaced Ist youth carnival or MGK .
- World Space Week.
In 1999, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed October 4-10 as part of World Space Week. Pakistan seeks to enter the realm of space science and technology and related applications. Over the past few decades, IST has seen significant progress in this area. The success of any space program relies heavily on public understanding and support. IST, in collaboration with our National Space Agency (SUPARCO), communicates the benefits of space technology to the public on a regular basis. The Institute initiated the observation of the International World Space Week in Pakistan. Walking paths, lectures, and workshops are organized at schools and colleges in the area by twinning students from IST. The week ends with a full day of variety shows at the institute, which includes a quiz space, poster contests, a cinema space, and a music concert.

The most obvious option, but not the easiest one to implement. The astronaut controls the spacecraft, carries out work on the International Space Station and even goes into outer space. The task of the cosmonauts is to conduct scientific research and test various technical devices. Sometimes astronauts have to repair equipment on board the station. The very stay of people in near-earth orbit is a biological experiment; on Earth, astronauts become an object of study for doctors and biologists.
The selection and training of test cosmonauts is carried out by the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center. Anyone under the age of 35 can apply for admission to the cosmonaut corps. Good health and higher education are among the basic requirements for astronauts. The most demanded specialties in orbit are pilot and engineer, and the easiest way to become an astronaut is through the profession of a military pilot.
