Space tourist Sarah Brightman has delayed the start of the training for her space mission, planned for October.
An official at the Yuri Gagarin cosmonaut training centre told TASS that Brightman was due to meet the staff but She left Russia to visit her sick mother, Alexei Krasnov, the head of manned flights at the Russian space agency said. “She has gone away for family reasons, but she promised to be in Moscow on Sunday [Janaury 18],” Krasnov said. He denied suggestions that Brightman could give up her place to a 51-year-old Japanese businessman who markets space tourism, Satoshi Takamatsu, who is also starting training to become a space tourist. “There are no indications that she will abandon the flight,” Krasnov said.

She's now started her training.

Quote
MOSCOW, January 19. /TASS/. British famed soprano singer Sarah Brightman has come back to Moscow and has begun preparations for her journey to the International Space Station (ISS), Yury Lonchakov, the head of Russia’s Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center, said on Monday.
“Brightman has returned to Moscow and has started preparations for the space flight,” Lonchakov said. “The preparations are in line with the schedule" he told TASS.

I'd be rather content with my job if I got to wear astronaut gear one day, Jedi robes the next.

I wonder if Sarah plays guitar. The one used by the Canadian astronaut, Chris Hatfield, is still up there.
She could follow the historic session that Chris carried out to become the second artist to record music from LEO.

Andreas Mogensen launch moved by a day

24 July 2015

The next ESA astronaut to work on the International Space Station, Andreas Mogensen, will arrive a day later than previously planned because the Station’s orbit has been changed.

The Danish flight engineer, commander Sergei Volkov and Kazakh cosmonaut Aidyn Aimbetov will leave Earth from Baikonur, Kazakhstan, at 4:34 GMT (6:34 CEST, 10:34 local time) on 2 September and arrive at the Space Station just six hours later.

Andreas and Aidyn’s stay will be short – they will be back on terra firma just 10 days later. They will leave Sergei on the Station and return to Earth in a different Soyuz under commander Gennady Padalka, who is already in space.

The one-day delay was necessary because the Station’s orbit was raised this month and their original launch date would no longer allow the Soyuz to reach the weightless research laboratory inside six hours.

This sprint for Andreas and Aidyn is part of a marathon mission for NASA astronaut Scott Kelly and cosmonaut Mikhail Korniyenko, who will stay in space for 11 months. The older Soyuz crew ferry is reaching the end of its six-month ‘space warranty’ and needs to be replaced by a new delivery courtesy of Sergei, Andreas and Aidyn.

Andreas has an essential role in this spacecraft swap assisting both Soyuz commanders on each flight in his role as flight engineer, or second-in-command.

iriss logo

ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen’s patch for his 10-day mission to the International Space Station in 2015. His iriss mission has two patches, one to highlight the mission overall and one for the educational programme.

A competition in Andreas’ home country of Denmark attracted 500 entrants, with two designs chosen by an expert jury to represent iriss and Andreas.

The winner for this mission logo, Poul Rasmussen, was inspired by the Greek goddess Iris, who is often depicted with wings. The wings in the design also represent a Viking ship as used to explore the world and seek unknown horizons.

The iriss name is written in two colours to highlight that Andreas is leaving Earth for the International Space Station, or ISS. Stars and planets appear above the name in stylised orbits.

iriss education logo

ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen’s patch to highlight the educational programme to inspire youngsters during his 10-day mission to the International Space Station in 2015. The iriss mission has two patches, one to highlight the mission overall and one for the educational programme.

A competition in Andreas’ home country of Denmark attracted 500 entrants, with two designs chosen by an expert jury to represent iriss and Andreas.

His educational logo was designed by 19-year-old Louise Nielsen, who adopted the same colours as the mission logo. The design shows Andreas heading into space on a rocket.

Longer flight to the International Space Station for Andreas Mogensen

Quote
ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen will leave for the International Space Station from Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on 2 September with commander Sergei Volkov and Kazakh cosmonaut Aidyn Aimbetov. Their flight in the Soyuz TMA-18M spacecraft will take two days, arriving at the Space Station on Friday morning.

From 2013 onwards Soyuz spacecraft typically reached the International Space Station in around six hours. The longer flight for Andreas is due to the Space Station’s higher than usual orbit. The weightless research laboratory’s orbit was recently raised in a standard space-debris avoidance manoeuvre.
