Vending machines selling food designed for astronauts are to be installed at Moscow universities, it has been announced.

According to Andrei Vechernikov, general director of the Laboratory of Space Food, the vending machines will first be available at the Moscow Aviation Institute, where future astronauts go to study. In the near future the company intends to roll out the project to Moscow State University (MGU) and Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO).
