Dear Collector!
Have you ever heard about Belarus having an incredibly developed space industry?
I’m sure you haven’t. And yet—it exists! 🙂
This impressive, large-format album titled “BELARUS: Way to Space” is clear proof of that. The very first page opens with a striking phrase printed in red: “We are creating the future of space.”
This album is quite rare. Its print run is only 500 copies, and it was most likely produced for a specific international event—perhaps as an attempt to surprise and impress foreign guests with Belarus’s achievements in space science and technology.
A powerful, unexpected, and genuinely fascinating book.
Highly recommended for your collection!

High-quality illustrations, photographs, archival materials, and infographics make this volume both visually impressive and intellectually engaging.
Published with the support of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, this edition is designed for a wide audience—from collectors and researchers to space enthusiasts. A solid reference and a striking coffee-table book, it captures the ambition, imagination, and technological progress behind Belarus’s journey toward the stars.
