Ready for the space flight!

This spring we got acquainted with a wonderful family of brave space and aviation fans. Profession of a cosmonaut is really a heroic one and demands passing long and difficult preparation training. It were Victor and Tamara who made up their mind to experience all the responsibility, unusual feelings and joy that successfully completed space mission brings.

During their space trainings due to Centrifuge ride they experienced g-loads the cosmonauts experience during the insertion in the orbit; thanks to Egress-2 simulator they performed spacewalk in Orlan spacesuits, they passed Sokol rescue spacesuit trainings, cooked space food, got a chance to control Soyuz-TMA spacecraft and live standard flight day onboard the ISS; experienced real zero-gravity during the flight onboard IL-76MDK aircraft and even got to the Edge of Space performing miG-29 jet fighter flight.

Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre instructors gave the family crew the highest marks saying they are absolutely ready for the spaceflight.

Well done!
