Arkalyk
Arkalyk (also known as Arqalyq) is a city in central Kazakhstan. As of 2005, around 45,000 people live in the city. The Arkalyk Business Centre describes today's Arkalyk as "a city of miners, of regional administrators, and people excited to live in a regional center". Historically Arkalyk was a centre for the Soviet space programme. Cosmonauts would land on the huge central Kazakh steppe and come back to Arkalyk before heading to the Baikonur, the Union's premier "space city".
