Zvyozdny gorodok (urban-type settlement)

Zvyozdny gorodok (Russian: Звёздный городо́к), also known by its anglicized name Star City, is a closed urban locality (a work settlement) in Moscow Oblast, Russia.

It is home to the military research and space training facility known as Star City in English.

[4] For most of its history, the space training center known in English as Star City was in jurisdiction of the Soviet and then Russian military.

[8] This double status remained in effect until October 1, 2008, when the center was re-organized and subordinated directly and solely to the Roscosmos.

[9] On August 5, 2009, Boris Gromov, the Governor of Moscow Oblast, issued a Resolution which transformed the military townlet into an urban-type settlement.
