This packed container samples merchandise of the Biryulyovsky plant specializing in making food for cosmonauts for more than 50 years. The majority of products are preserves kept in special aluminum cans; a part of products is dehydrated to lessen its weight. Cosmonauts themselves water it.
Other Russian enterprises produce food for cosmonauts, too. A special bakery at the Russian Baking Industry Institute makes bread for cosmonauts. A cheese manufacturer in Uglich provides cheese.
