The Cosmonaut Training Centre: birth and growth -- Simulators -- Other national and international facilities -- Survival training -- The Cosmonaut Group of the RGNII TsPK -- The Cosmonaut group of RKK Energiya -- Other Soviet and Russian cosmonaut selections -- Cosmonauts selected to fly the Buran Shuttle -- International training -- Joint programmes -- Zvyozdnyy Gorodok — the town.
With the aid of unique photographs, first-hand interviews and historical resources, Rex Hall, Dave Shayler and Bert Vis explain, for the very first time, how Russian citizens have been selected and trained to fly in space, and how these procedures have changed during the past 40 years. The authors also describe the evolution of the often overlooked ground support infrastructure and how the role of cosmonauts has changed from the very earliest days of the Gagarin era, through the demise of the Soviet Union, to the era of international co-operation and collaboration on programmes such as the International Space Station. The book will provide much important background information and insight to the operational Soviet/Russian manned space programme, already covered in other Springer-Praxis titles, but revealing information and facts not covered elsewhere, and providing a unique reference source for all those who wish to understand the changing role of Russian cosmonauts in today’s global space programme.
