Location
The planetarium is located in the building of the Nikolo-Kremlin ("yellow") church on the territory of the historical Kremlin of Vladimir between the Nativity Monastery and the building of the historical museum. Nearby is a monument to Alexander Nevsky .
Actually, the St. Nicholas Kremlin Church is an architectural monument of the mid- 18th century . A typical example of the pillarless summer Posad temple. Monument of federal significance.
History
The planetarium was opened in April 1962, on the anniversary of the first space flight [1] . A prefabricated plastic dome with a diameter of eight meters was made at the Vladimir Chemical Plant. A projection apparatus UP-4 was installed in the center of the main hall - one of the first Planetarium domestic apparatus. In the process, the planetarium was equipped with new equipment. A zoom was acquired, providing the approach / removal of any object (planets, satellites, etc.). At the base of the dome, a circular panorama was established with the landscapes of Mars, the Moon , the North Pole and the jungle. It was complemented by a panorama of Vladimir (thin V.I.Shamaev) - metal forged copies of houses and temples of the historic city center.
Layouts of the first three artificial satellites of the Earth, globes of the Earth and the Moon, a fragment of the Sikhote-Alin meteorite , visual aids were placed in the lobby. In the 70s, the Foucault pendulum was added to them, parts for which were manufactured at one of the city factories. In the 90s, in the foyer, they installed the only diorama in Russia, “Takeoff of the Energia-Buran spacecraft ”.
In connection with the claims of the Russian Orthodox Church and objectively low demonstration capabilities (most of the equipment was installed in the 60s) in 2006, it was decided to build a specially equipped building for the needs of the Vladimir planetarium [2] . Construction began in 2008 on the site of one of the demolished pavilions in the eastern part of the central park (the former park named after the 850th anniversary of Vladimir) and lasted almost three years. The new building was commissioned in March 2011 [3] . Today, offices and cafes function in its side extensions. On August 1, 2012, the mayor Sergei Sakharov met with representatives of the German company Carl Zeiss to discuss the installation of special optics and the necessary equipment [4] . It is planned that the planetarium will be equipped with the efforts of two budgets - city and regional. The planetarium will move to a new building in 2013.
