The cooperation of Galactika with Roscosmos Federal Space Agency on the supply program for astronauts began in 2011. The first samples of Bolshaya Kruzhka freeze-dried products were provided to Roskosmos in summer of 2012. On October 25th, 2012 – for the first time in the history of the Russian cosmonautics – Bolshaya Kruzhka freeze-dried cultured milk products were delivered to the International Space Station.
On the special request of members of the crew – Oleg Novitskiy, Yevgeny Tarelkin and Yuri Malenchenko, – Galactika Dairy Plant produced kefir, fermented baked milk, bio-kefir, yogurt with apples, prunes, strawberries and cereals, as well as the coffee milkshake – these products underwent the freeze-drying process, were packed in specially designed “swallow tale” packages and sent into orbit.
Galactika dairy products were highly appreciated by the astronauts, and now for almost 2 years they have been included in the food ration of the Russian cosmonauts on the ISS.
After the successful trial in control tests, based on many positive reviews of the astronauts, the dairy products manufactured under the Bolshaya Kruzhka brand were included in the main part of the new 16 days food ration of the astronauts.
