You will acquire actual skills on a space vehicle control by means of unique hardware and facilities and learn a lot about the space vehicle's docking process. You also will be given fundamentals of space navigation. Depending on an amount of skills to be trained and on the amount of the simulated systems the simulators are classified as specialized and integrated ones. The specialized simulators are used for acquiring skills on carrying out single particular operations, such as approach and docking with other manned space vehicles, run of experiments and research, preparation for air-locking and exit from the manned space vehicle etc. Therefore, specialized simulators simulate operation of single independent systems and informational sources, which are used by cosmonauts for carrying out specific particular tasks. The integrated simulators are used for acquiring skills on carrying out the mission plan as a whole. All skills and knowledge, which have been previously mastered by means of specialized simulators and trainers, are integrated here. Integrated simulators enable to simulate and to train the whole program of the forthcoming mission and run of all systems, starting from the procedure of pre-launch preparation of the manned space vehicle and ending up with crew actions after touchdown. The staff of the Mission Control Center regularly participates in such training, thus enabling to improve its interaction with the crew. Therefore, integrated simulators have the greatest entirety of simulated systems of control.

Broadband FilmFour Text Only TV Listings ... LIFE Training for EUROMIR Missions Astronaut training The astronauts and cosmonauts on board Mir have two prime functions: They operate systems and perform experiments which cannot be done automatically or remotely, or are done more efficiently by humans. They themselves serve as the 'test subjects' for many experiments. An advantage of having science experiments conducted manually in space is that the crew members are able to use their initiative and resourcefulness in understanding and correcting problems, interpreting new requests from scientists on the ground, and taking advantage of unexpected or fortuitous situations. Four ESA astronauts were chosen for the two EUROMIR missions, each mission having one ESA-designated astronaut (for crew 1) and one stand-by astronaut (for crew 2). Thomas Reiter was crew 1 for EUROMIR 95. All the astronauts began training preparations in early 1993 at ESA's European Astronauts' Centre (EAC) near Cologne, Germany, with introductory courses on Russian space operations and safety issues, and intensive instruction in the Russian language - as future training and mission operations would be conducted in Russian. Formal mission training began in August 1993 at the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre (TsPK) at 'Star City' near Moscow. In the first phase, all four ESA astronauts went through basic training together. This included crew training in general technical and biomedical subjects, and in Soyuz and Mir systems on Soyuz-TM and Mir simulators and trainers. The astronauts also gained experience in working under conditions of microgravity during training sessions on a Russian Ilyushin IL-76 aircraft (the 'Flying Laboratory') performing parabolic flights.

Section 550 THE CHANGING JOB OF ASTRONAUT I n the pioneering days of spaceflight, most astronauts were recruited from the ranks of test pilots. Later a few scientists were added into the astronaut corps to conduct research in space. F or the multipurpose Space Shuttle, the roles of astronauts became more varied. The astronaut corps expanded to include crew members called mission specialists, who are responsible for spacecraft systems and operations other than piloting. Scientists, engineers, physicians, and pilots can become mission specialists. F or many missions, guest astronauts called payload specialistswho are not part of the NASA astronaut corps train with the crew. Payload specialists come from universities, research centers, government agencies, businesses, and other nations that use the Shuttle. They are responsible for science and engineering payloads. THE CHANGING ASTRONAUT CORPS W ith changing roles and changes in society, the astronaut corps has become more diverse. From 1959 through 1972, all U.S. astronauts were white men, selected primarily from military test pilot programs and a few scientific fields. For the Shuttle program

Article I: Description of Cooperation The cooperation set forth in this Implementing Agreement will be undertaken in accordance with the Agreement Between the United States of America and the Russian Federation Concerning Cooperation in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space for Peaceful Purposes, of June 17, 1992 (hereinafter the June 17, 1992 Agreement). An experienced cosmonaut will fly abroad the Space Shuttle on the STS-60 mission, which is currently scheduled for November 1993. The cosmonaut will be an integral member of the orbiter crew, and will be trained as a Mission Specialist on Shuttle systems, flight operations, and manifested payload procedures following existing Shuttle practices. The RSA will nominate two cosmonauts for approval by NASA as candidates for the STS-60 Space Shuttle mission. In accordance with Article IV, one of the two cosmonauts will be designated the primary Russian-sponsored crewmember, with the other being designated as a backup crewmember. Both crewmembers will receive Mission Specialist Astronaut training, until the time that the STS-60 crew begins dedicated mission training. From that point, the backup crewmember will receive as much training as practical. The two cosmonauts will be scheduled for arrival at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, in October, 1992. Their names, experience and personal history will be provided to NASA by the RSA prior to the initiation of training. An experienced NASA astronaut will fly on the Mir Space Station as an integral long-duration crewmember (e.g., longer than 90 days) participating as an integral member of the crew in a variety of operations and experiments. The timing of this flight will be consistent with a Shuttle docking flight in 1994 or 1995. The astronaut will be flown to the Mir on a Soyuz transportation system. Special emphasis will be placed on science, particularly life science, as well as engineering and operational objectives. Astronaut and cosmonaut participation before, during and after the long duration flight will be emphasized to accomplish all flight objectives.

Dennis Tito, a former Nasa engineer, is expected to blast off on 30 April for a 10-day trip to the International Space Station (ISS). Tito worked for Nasa before entering business He has paid an estimated $20m for the chance to become the first private citizen to travel to the space station. Mr Tito, 60, is expected to spend three weeks training at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre near Moscow before leaving for Houston in the US. But his hopes of enjoying the flight of a lifetime appeared under threat last week when he was admitted to hospital suffering from pneumonia - from which he has now recovered. There also appears to be some confusion over which of the ISS regulatory bodies is required to give his space trip final approval. 'Lifeboat' mission Mr Tito believes he requires only medical approval from Russian doctors, but according to the US space agency, Nasa, the trip requires their approval.
