Educational field will be the new component of GCTC and MSU cooperation. The program has a specific content and provides works for the period of 2013-2015.

It includes preparation and implementation of new space experiments, researches of possibilities of creation and application of robotic systems to ensure safe and efficient operation of cosmonauts on the Earth orbit and on the other planets,  etc.
