Abstract The Central Committee of the Communist Party agreed the establishment of a cosmonaut training centre on 11 January 1960. This was soon followed by a decision by the Head of the Air Force that the first commander of the training centre would be Colonel Yevgeniy Karpov and that he would have a staff of 250 specialists. The training centre would be a military unit, with the responsibility to house the staff and their families. To that end, the town of Zvyozdnyy Gorodok was constructed.
