From here they were flight control of spacecraft series "Venus" and "Mars". Here were taken the first images of the surface of Venus with SPACECRAFT "Venera-13". Work on deep space was held in conjunction with NPC-16 or NPC-22 near Evpatoria.
Here was one of the control Centres was carried out management of manned space vehicles and stations, including Soyuz — Apollo, as well as the flight of a large number of other satellites.
For success in the conduct of space operations to/h 14109 was awarded the Red Banner Missile Troops.
