It is the last station of the first line, situated between the depo(Kalinovskoe) and the station Uralmash.

The interior of the metro station was designed by a team of architects led by Spartak Ziganshin. The design of the station was based on the idea of USSR leadership in space exploration.

The station is richly decorated with marble. The platform is supported by mirrored chrome columns designed by Vyacheslav Butusov – at that time a graduate of Sverdlovsk Architectural Institute – to look like rockets.

The track walls are trimmed with Ukrainian labradorite and black marble with white veins of quartzite, reminiscent of the starry night sky. The lighting is made to resemble spacecraft nozzles. All metal elements were manufactured by the plant – Uralelectrotyazhmash. The composition of mosaics and reliefs was created by artist Boris Klochkov.

The station has two underground lobbies, neither exit has escalators. The northern lobby is located in a densely populated area on Kosmonavtov Avenue. The southern vestibule is connected to the underground passage at the intersection of Fraserovshchikov Street / Ilyich Street and Kosmonavtov Avenue (Cosmonauts Avenue).

• Station Construction – three-span shallow column station.
• Depth of the foundation – 6 meters.

There are two dead ends behind the station and a crossover between them.

The station has exits to six stops (including the end ones) of all types of ground transport: buses, trolleybuses, trams and fixed-route taxis.
