Zarya (; lit. Red Sky Glow, Aurora, Sunrise ), also known as the Functional Cargo Block or FGB (from the Russian "", or ФГБ), was the first module of the International Space Station to be launched. The FGB provided electrical power, storage, propulsion, and guidance to the ISS during the initial stage of assembly. With the launch and assembly in orbit of other modules with more specialized functionality, Zarya is now primarily used for storage, both inside the pressurized section and in the externally mounted fuel tanks. The Zarya is a descendant of the TKS spacecraft designed for the Russian Salyut program. The name Zarya, which means sunrise, was given to the FGB because it signified the dawn of a new era of international cooperation in space. Although it was built by a Russian company, it is owned by the United States.

Zarya (Dawn) was a Russian Marxist theoretical and political journal published in Stuttgart, Germany by the editors of Iskra in 1901-1902. Four issues appeared.
The Zarya spacecraft was a secret Soviet project of the late 1980s aiming to design and build a large, manned, vertical takeoff, vertical landing ( VTVL) reusable space capsule, a much larger replacement for the Soyuz (spacecraft). The project was shelved in 1989, "on the eve of the Soviet Union's collapse."
After the project was shelved in January 1989, for financial reasons, the name was reused for Zarya, the first of the components of the International Space Station.
A Zarya Antenna is a special type of directional mediumwave broadcasting antenna consisting of a long straight row of grounded lattice towers with a height of approximate 50 metres in a distance of 100 metres. These towers carry the antenna wire.
Three types of Zarya antennas, which exist at most larger AM broadcasting facilities in former Soviet Union, are used. They use some configuration but different length values, which are 1500, 2500 and 3500 metres.
'Zarya svobody ' ( Russian Заря свободы, German ''Morgenröte der Freiheit, English The Dawn of Freedom), is an opera in four acts composed between 1873 and 1877 by Ella Adayevskaya (the pseudonym adopted by the composer Elizaveta von Schultz).
Zarya (, Dawn) was a monthly literary and political Russian magazine published in Saint Petersburg in 1869-1872.
A Slavophile-oriented journal, Zarya supported the liberal reforms in Russia while promoting the idea of strong Tsarist power. Nikolai Danilevsky's Russia and Europe, published there in 1869 (Nos. 1-6, 8-10) would later become the basis for Alexander III's government's official political doctrine. Among other notable works that were published by Zarya were " The Prisoner of the Caucasus" by Leo Tolstoy (1872, No. 2), The Eternal Husband by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, as well as assorted works by Fyodor Tyutchev, Afanasy Fet, Apollon Maykov, Yakov Polonsky, Alexey Pisemsky, Konstantin Leontyev, Dmitry Averkiyev, Vsevolod Krestovsky, Viktor Klyushnikov, Daniil Mordovtsev, Vasily Avseenko, Semyon Sholkovich. A pivotal figure in Zarya was the critic and journalist Nikolai Strakhov. His three essays on Tolstoy's War and Peace (1869, Nos. 1 and 2; 1870, No.1) provided the first detailed analysis on this novel in Russia.
The magazine's editor-in-chief Vasily Kashpiryov was also its publisher. After three years of struggling to attract the wider readership, he found himself on the verge of bankruptcy and stopped the publication in February 1872.
