- You fly into space on the Soyuz and the shuttle, respectively, were trained to fly in Russia and the United States. What is the difference between the two countries training course?
- When I flew on the shuttle (1994 and 1998), the significant difference was that the Russian cosmonauts flew on the Mir station for a long time, and American astronauts in a short orbital flights, and therefore methods of preparation have been incarcerated for different tasks . If we trained more skills that we needed during the flight, the Americans were able to repeatedly rehearse the same operation. Since NASA astronauts flew to the ISS as part of long expeditions, they come to the same system of training as we have.
- When can you start a new set of candidates for cosmonaut and can we expect participation of women?
- The process of selecting candidates for the cosmonaut to be launched shortly. I will say even more, RSC Energia has begun a preliminary set of candidates. But whether we go to the military, is not known. Earlier, when the CPC was located in the Defense Ministry, the selection of military units started on the orders of Commander Air Force. Now perhaps we can take to the detachment of someone from the military, but it is now entirely optional.
With regard to the requirements for the candidates, apart from physical health, much attention will be given to the recruitment of professional and personal qualities. We'll search the most useful for our space program experts.
With regard to the participation of women, I can say that some filters to prevent their recruitment to the cosmonaut we do not. Will consider all applications. If the team will get women, it will only get better.
- It is planned to unite the cosmonaut Cosmonaut Training Center and RSC Energia?
- Head of Federal Space Agency Anatoly Perminov said the plans to merge units. Of course, every association has its pluses and minuses. For example, some believe that weaken the link between astronauts and enterprises, creating space technology. I think this issue can be resolved.
- Will you still fly in space or completely switched to an administrative job?
- I do not put any crosses in flying career, although, as we know, life is life, dreaming hard. The only thing I can firmly assure you that the next year or two I have no such plans, and then we'll see. If there is a need for my flight to test the new Russian spaceship, I do not mind. Will such a possibility, wait and see.
