Hi all. A new .pdf
Added a column with the number of Finished EVAs

Updates and corrections are welcomed.

Revin is listed as backup FE-2 in TMA04M. Is this correct? I believe he will be backup FE1 instead of Hadfield, a CSA astronaut.
I’m surprised with the fact that there are some pilots scheduled to fly as Flight Engineers, specially Valkov, a cosmonaut with none previous mission assignment.
Are all the Energia-Cosmonauts working in the PPTS?

Regards

Gennadiy Padalka has officially performed eight spacewalks, Pavel Vinogradov - six spacewalks.

AFAIK the Kasakh cosmonauts didn´t train in the TsPK. Aimbetov is back in Kasakhstan and Aymakhanov is waiting for the Russian citizenship, to become a member of a Russian cosmonaut group.
And the commander of the cosmonaut group of RKKE since 2007 is Ussatchov.

Regarding TALsite's PDF, are cosmonauts from "Group MKS-1" generally at the front of the line for upcoming flight assignments? Also, is there an age limit for cosmonauts? If Tokarev flies again, he will be near 60.

Usually MKS-gr1 group contains only cosmonauts, which were in space.

There is no age limit, it depends on health, but Tokarev will not fly anymore.

This results in the question, why he returned to the Cosmonaut group, when "he will not fly anymore" ?

Funny... Tokarev will not be returned, only Malenchenko and Zhukov, as per decision of State Interdepartmental Commission at GCTC in the beginning of February. Malenchenko has returned to the Cosmonaut Group already on February 9th, Zhukov should be fired from previous work for the returning in the Cosmonaut Group.

Maybe something was lost in translation. Will Zhukov be "fired" from his present assignment, that is, unceremoniously terminated, and then join the Cosmonauts Group? Personally, I'd gladly get fired from my job to become an astronaut. I imagine most people on this forum would too!

Sergey Zhukov has never belonged to any Russian Cosmonaut Groups. He has worked always in Russian Technology Transfer Center. Now, for joining GCTC Cosmonaut Group, he should be fired from this work.

May be "fired" is not the correct word, "finished his present assignment" sounds better.

Cosmonaut Selection Interagency Board Meeting Took Place in Roscosmos

28.04.2010

Chaired by Roscosmos Head Anatoly Prminov, Cosmonaut Selection Interagency Board meeting took place in Roscosmos premises. The Board reviewed the list of active cosmonauts and named two candidates of RSC-Energia.

They are Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Andrey Babkin, both are assigned to go through test cosmonaut training course at GCTC.

The Board also made several decisions concerning ISS crew assignment of active Russian cosmonauts and qualified the corps of RSC-Energia, GCTC and IBMP.
The Board ordered GCTC, RSC-Energia, IBMP to prepare and coordinate a new draft Provision about Russian cosmonauts. In addition, it was decided to establish joint Roscosmos cosmonaut corps.

In 2010, IBMP is to prepare special life science experimental program for ISS RS to be submitted to Roscosmos for further acceptance.

Does the "commander of (Detachment's) Group" in FGBU NII GCTC change if previous commanders are flying or scheduled to do?
Now the commanders are K. Valkov, R. Romanenko and A. Shkaplerov, and previously were M. Surayev, A. Skvortsov Jr. and D. Kondratyev.

If the answer is YES, will Surayev be restored as commander of (Detachment's) Group after returning from space?

Thanks!

As was reported in this thread, Yuriy Malenchenko left the RGNII TsPK Cosmonaut Detachment on July 27, 2009. After reorganization of RGNII TsPK into FGBU NIITsPK, he has returned into the FGBU NIITsPK Cosmonaut Group on February 9, 2010.
