Russian Cosmonaut Bails Out of Upcoming Spaceflight
Chamitoff has retired?I love that guy. His STS-134 youtube vids will live on.It's sad that so many will not get the chance to fly again.Ron Garan is pretty cool too.This is very cool.4:10 space station tour.
Period of stay at the ISS: About 6 months from around June in 2016Transportation and from to the ISS: Launch and return by Soyuz spacecraft Major tasks at the ISS: During the 48th/49th Expedition Mission, he will be in charge of ISS operations as a flight engineer, and science experiments using the space environment.Astronaut Onishi's schedule in the near future: He will begin training necessary for the Soyuz trip and ISS expedition missions in December 2013.
Do all USOS astronauts gets Orlan/russian airlock familiarity training and visa versa (cosmonauts with EMU/quest training)? It would seem obvious but the chances of use of non-national suits and airlocks seems remote...
Is that Soyuz TMA-20M that is scheduled to fly in May, 2016 (per your recent Russian space launches update), or actually Soyuz MS-1 that is now slotted for March, 2016?
