anik - 22/3/2008 2:20 PMOlaf, he have not returned. If I understand correctly, Yuriy Onufrienko simply maintains his space knowledge with help of training.

Olaf - 28/3/2008 10:27 AMIf I΄ve read it correctly at astronaut.ru Valeri Tokarev was selected as the head of the Rostov rayon of the Jaroslavl region. Does it mean that he will leave the Air Force and the cosmonaut group in the near future?
October 1 - Soyuz TMA-16 launch Does this mean that Michael Kornienko will fly later?
"October 1 - Soyuz TMA-16 launch [R.Romanenko, J.Williams, Gruzdev (TBD)]"Does this mean that Michael Kornienko will fly later?
"October 30 - Discovery (STS-129) landing [Thirsk (TBD)]"Would Thirsk still need to come down on this flight? It wouldn't seem so now

We also can not return him on Soyuz TMA-15. We can return him only on Soyuz TMA-16 (but it will be in spring of 2010) or on the Space Shuttle (STS-129 is the nearest flight after Soyuz TMA-14 landing).There are two variants:1. If Gruzdev will fly on Soyuz TMA-16, then Kornienko will be excluded from Soyuz TMA-16 crew, Thirsk will land on STS-129 and ISS will have five permanent crewmembers in Expedition 20.2. If Gruzdev will not fly on Soyuz TMA-16, then Kornienko will be in Soyuz TMA-16 crew, Thirsk will land on Soyuz TMA-14 and ISS will have six permanent crewmembers in Expedition 20.
