The NSC is located in western Moscow. Roscosmos employees will relocate to the new center, and the building will also house employees of several private companies, as well as NASA representatives in Russia.
"Right here, in this hall, the flight control center for the Russian orbital station will be located," Bakanov said at the center's opening.
The Moscow mayor called the NSC one of the most modern buildings in the Russian capital.
"Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich [Putin], at your instruction, a new unique engineering complex for our space corporation was built. Essentially, a new home for Roscosmos. I think this is one of the most modern and high-tech complexes in the world," Sobyanin said, adding that the NSC building is the beginning of the reorganization of a "depressed area."
Additionally, the NSC includes a low-rise section with buildings from eight to ten stories. For the convenience of Roscosmos employees' movement, the building sections are connected by a pedestrian gallery and bridge passages. The construction of the center began in late 2019 on the territory of the Khrunichev Space Research and Production Center. The architectural center of the complex is a three-sided 47-story tower 288 meters (945 feet) high with a spire resembling a rocket installed on a launch pad.
