スターシティまたは星の街(ズヴョーズドヌイ・ゴロドク)は、モスクワの北東32km、シチョルコヴォ近郊に位置する、非常に制限された軍の研究・訓練施設です。1960年代から宇宙飛行士はガガーリン宇宙飛行士訓練センター (GCTC) で訓練を受けていました。ソビエト時代には、厳重に警備された閉鎖都市で、外界からは隔離されていました。現在では、ロシアの宇宙飛行士の多くは、家族と共にスターシティに住んでいます。この町には、郵便局や店舗、学校や保育所、映画館、スポーツ施設、駅、宇宙旅行の博物館があります。

Cosmonauts of the Russian Federal Space Agency, and the Soviet space program before it, have lived and trained in Star City since the 1960s. In the Soviet era the location was a highly secret and guarded military installation, access to which was severely restricted. Many Russian cosmonauts, past and present, and Training Centre’s personnel, live in Star City with their families. The facility has its own post office, high school, shops, child day care/kindergarten, movie theater, sports and recreation facilities, railway station, and a museum of space travel and human exploration.

The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
