22. Shuttle-Mir History/Background/Gargarin Cosmonaut Training Center
ScientificResearch Center of cosmonaut training, also named Beyond training Sovietand Russian cosmonauts Like NASA's astronaut training center at Johnson
http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/history/shuttle-mir/history/h-b-training-gargarin.ht
Gargarin Cosmonaut Training Center NASA's Mir astronauts trained for their Shuttle-Mir missions mainly at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center (GCTC), at Star City, about 30 kilometers north of Moscow. The Soviets' decision to construct a cosmonaut training center was made on January 11, 1960. In 1968, it was named for the first man in space, Yuri Gagarin. On May 15, 1995, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russian government established the Russian State Scientific-Research Center of Cosmonaut Training, also named after Yuri Gargarin. It was placed under the authorities of the Russian Ministry of Defense (Air Force) and the Russian Space Agency. Beyond training Soviet and Russian cosmonauts, the GCTC had trained 25 international crews by April 1, 1996, including 24 astronauts from 17 countries. Like NASA's astronaut training center at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, the GCTC offers high-tech training facilities including: integrated simulators for the Soyuz spacecraft and the Mir space station modules; a Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory for extra-vehicular activity training, consisting of a 5,000 cubic meter water tank; a Il-76 MDK aircraft "flying laboratory," for the simulation of microgravity; and both large (TsF-18) and small (TsF-7) centrifuges, for the simulation of G-loads during launch. The GCTC also offers survival training for many possible landing situations, including mountains, woodlands, marshes, deserts, in the Arctic and on the sea. All seven Shuttle-Mir astronauts returned to Earth onboard space shuttles, but an emergency evacuation of Mir in a Soyuz was always a possibility. Russian cosmonauts have experienced several "rough" landings. For example, cosmonauts Belyayev and Leonov landed on permafrost in 1965; Lazarev and Makarov landed on a mountainside in 1975; and Zudov and Roshdestvensky splashed down in Lake Tyngiz in 1976.

23. 4-2-2-4 IMPLEMENTING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE NATIONAL AERONAUTIC AND SPACE ADMINIS
astronaut and cosmonaut participation before, during and after the long duration Bothcrewmembers will receive full cosmonaut training with their cosmonaut crew
http://www.nasda.go.jp/lib/space-law/chapter_4/4-2-2-4/4-2-2-41_e.html
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.

Basic Training for Japanese International Space Station (ISS) crew members is finally underway. The Basic Training for Japanese ISS crew member candidates selected in February 1999 was inaugurated this April. Continuing from the previous article in this series, we will outline the basic training in this article which will take place mainly at Tsukuba Space Center and explain the type of training in each category. In this Basic Training, astronaut candidate Sumino will participate primarily in the lectures to maintain and improve the skills and abilities necessary for an astronaut candidate. Specialized training (see note) is planned to be implemented as necessary, considering the ISS assembly plan and progress as well as the Japanese astronaut flight manifesting. Note : This specialized training includes hyperbaric chamber (altitude chamber) training, extravehicular activity (EVA) training, and survival training as listed in section 4 - Basic Ability Training.

Backup Crew Member Assigned to Expedition Six
NASA Press Release 01-139

Donald Pettit, Ph.D., a member of the Expedition Six back-
up crew, will replace Donald Thomas, Ph.D., on the future
mission to the International Space Station.
Pettit has been training as backup flight engineer for this
expedition and will joint Expedition Commander Kenneth
Bowersox (Capt., USN) and Russian cosmonaut Nikolai
Budarin. The reassignment results from a medical issue that
affects Thomas' long-duration space flight qualification. Courtesy: NASA "The demanding nature of long-term space flight requires a conservative approach to crew health issues, especially this early in the program, " said Astronaut Office Chief, Charlie Precourt. "We have had to make such adjustments before; this again demonstrates the value of training backup space station crewmembers in parallel with the prime crews." NASA selected Pettit in April 1996. He's a chemical engineer and served as a staff scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico before joining the astronaut corps. Selected by NASA in January 1990, Thomas became an astronaut in July 1991. He's a veteran of four space shuttle flights and has logged more than 1,040 hours in space.

Besides the age record, Story Musgrave, a 61-year-old ex-Marine and surgeon, gained two other distinctions: He became the first to fly six times on space shuttles and the first to ride in all five shuttles. 2. Astronaut Shanon Lucid set a record for time in space of 188 days and 5 hours aboard STS 79 and the Russian MIR. 3. Friday, Dec. 6, 1996: STS 80 Columbia has surpassed the previous shuttle flight-duration record of 16 days, 21 hours, 48 minutes and 30 seconds set last July by the last flight of the same Shuttle(Columbia). The ship is due to land Saturday, Dec. 7, 1996. Besides being on the longest shuttle flight, Astronaut Story Musgrave is the oldest person ever in space, the first to fly six times on Space Shuttles and the first to fly on all five Space Shuttles. Astronaut John Blaha spent 128 days in space, 118 as a MIR crewmember. This is the second longest mission for an astronaut.

James Halsell Jr. says being a father makes him a better space shuttle commander. Son James Charles is 8 months old. "Now, being supposedly a well-rounded family man, I do understand that there is an appropriate balance that you have to strike, even when you're preparing for a space flight," he says. "It's made me better at my job." Halsell, 43, an Air Force colonel from West Monroe, La., is making his fifth shuttle flight since becoming an astronaut in 1990. He sprained his left ankle on the job in March, but says it's completely healed. Halsell says he and his wife have discussed the risks of spaceflight, especially now that they have a child. "She would tell you that launch day is a stressful time for her, but she is glad she's married to somebody who goes to work every day really enthused about what he's doing." Pilot Scott Horowitz says his wife worries more when he flies little planes at the local airfield than when he straps into the space shuttle.
