A film about the first launch of the Soyuz launch vehicle from the Kourou cosmodrome (French Guiana). About the long-term joint work of Russian and European specialists who built a Russian launch complex in the impenetrable jungles of Guiana. For the first time since the Caribbean crisis, Russian missiles are based on the American continent. The Soyuz launches from the tropical cosmodrome in French Guiana are something new in the history of domestic and world cosmonautics. Will Russia be able to expand its presence in the global space market? And is it possible to do this today within the framework of one country and industry?
