Traditionally, the freshmen’s meeting was held on Lieutenant Schmidt Embankment, in front of the front entrance to Russia’s oldest technical university.

For many years, he, who can be rightly called the ”father” of space robotics, was left unknown, as his name was kept classified. The creator of the first-ever lunar rover, the Mars lander vehicle, and author of numerous unique inventions — he became known only with the fall of the USSR. There is even an asteroid that was named after him. Alexander Kemurdzhian was born in 1921 in Vladikavkaz. He is a craftsman and inventor of impossible machines and mechanisms. No one would have suspected at the time that this childish hobby would make the boy a world-famous constructor.
