Thanks Anik and Mr. Shamsutdinov.

Definitely, it seems that Kondratyev has broken a mirror.

All his classmates are getting flights and he, another backup assignment. He remembers me to Pyotr Kolodin...

I hope one day he get one flight.

I don't understand : in this page, dated from today, it is written that Tsibliev is still the head of TsPK...

I thought that Krikaliov was the director of the new CIVILIAN center, and that Guidzenko was the new commander of the MILITARY center ?

patchfree · « **Reply #123 on:** 05/26/2009 09:33 pm »

Krikalyov will begin with his position as director only in July, 2009.

With Kaleri changing from Exp 23-24 to Exp 25-26 will he also be changing from ISS CDR to ISS FE?
Thank you.

I think I have answered to this question in my previous message:

"CDR - Aleksandr Kaleri (Expedition 25/26 FE)"

According to the Novosti kosmonavtiki forum all cosmonaut candidates have passed their examination.

jacqmans · « **Reply #127 on:** 06/17/2009 08:01 pm »

I spoke with Kaleri yesterday at the Paris Air Show, he said that he "probably" will fly on Soyuz TMA-01M... but nothing was decided yet !!

Also said by ESA on the Paris Air Show: On ESA Astronauts flying on Soyuz. The next ESA astronaut to fly for a long increment after Nespoli will be Andre Kuipers, and then a German ESA astronaut will fly a long increment... this could be 6 month's or 3 month's mission's !!

The New 6 ESA astronauts will start their 18 month long training on September 01 of this year.. but more on that later (photo report from Paris from me).

Thanks for the info jacqmans. I guess this narrows the choices down to Hans Schlegel or Alexander Gerst (who should be eligible by then).

On this web http://astronaut.ru/as_rusia/2005/text/main01.htm, the author says the exams were on June 2nd, and all passed, five with a qualification of “Excellent” (“отлично”), and Ovchinin and Serova with “Good” (“хорошо”).

Vitali Lopota said on Novosti Kosmonavtiki NEWS (June 16, 20:42 hours) that the first new digital Soyuz could fly “at the end of 2010-early 2011” and the CDR will be “Alexandr Kaleri”

I understand this as another delay in this launch, and another swap of crews. Do you think the same?

From how Kaleri said it and how his face looked when he said it, I think Kaleri will be and stay on as commander of the TMA-01M regardles of delays... But since the crew is not Official as of now anything can happen...

According to information from Mr. Shamsutdinov in the Novosti kosmonavtiki forum the seven new cosmonauts get the qualification as "Test-cosmonaut" on Jun, 9th.
He also says, that Yu. Baturin left the TsPK and its cosmonaut group on May,31st and that the Kasakh cosmonaut M. Aimachanov made a request to become a member of a Russian cosmonaut group.

Is Sergei Krikalyov no longer with the group of cosmonauts? (I notice his photo has appeared at last on the GCTC page! ...At least, the Russian version.)
