	Astronaut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"Cosmonaut" is an anglicization of the Russian word космонавт (kosmonavt), which in turn derives from the Greek words kosmos, meaning "universe" and nautes, meaning "sailor".
		For the most part, "cosmonaut" and "astronaut" are synonyms in all languages, and the usage of choice is often dictated by political reasons.
		The first cosmonaut was Yuri Gagarin, who was launched into space on April 12, 1961 aboard Vostok 1.

	Popovich
		A fighter escort intercepts the cosmonauts' aircraft at 13:00, and the aircraft lands at Moscow at 14:00 sharp.
		The cosmonauts' wives are preparing a letter denouncing Popovich for shutting down his wife's career and his abuse of her.
		Cosmonaut assignments were in constant flux, resulting in many claims in later years that 'I was being trained for the first moon flight'.

	After 10 months, cosmonaut returns to a strange new world (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		He blasted off from one country -- the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics -- last May. He landed Wednesday in the sovereign nation of Kazakhstan -- one of the 15 countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States that was formed in December -- and was lucky he was not asked for an entry visa.
		The cosmonaut was gently lifted out of his space capsule -- a Soyuz TM-13 -- placed on a chair and carried to a group of reporters and photographers.
		With all the changes, the cosmonaut might have been relieved to discover that his wife -- whose name is still Lena -- and their 2-year-old son were waiting for him.

		Cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko may be about to find out: The International Space Station crewman plans to get married while in orbit this weekend, jilting superiors on Earth who accused him of showboating and advised him to wait.
		The cosmonaut and his fiancee were issued a marriage license last month in her home state of Texas, which allows weddings in which one party is not present.
		While the groom won't be at his own wedding — a circumstance that normally leads to tears — he intends to call his bride on a special phone from the space station, Gorbunov said.

		An attempt to impact the heel of a German cosmonaut on Mir to simulate the strains of walking for 10 minutes a day managed to fend off a 7% bone loss during a 140-day flight in 1995.
		This latest cosmonaut study comes off the back of a recent trial of the technique by Ongaro iwith 11 osteoporotic women in Rome.

		Elizabeth and Gregor are of different social classes: Elizabeth, it seems, is a "native", while Gregor is a descendant of the "cosmonauts", who arrived at Mingulay some centuries earlier from Earth, in a starship which is now unusable.
		Soon another starship arrives: this one bearing human traders from Nova Babylonia, traders who in some ways resemble Anderson's Kith (and Heinlein's Traders from _Citizen of the Galaxy_, and Vinge's Qeng Ho), though their starship is actually controlled by aliens called Krakens, who naturally enough are huge entities that live in water.

		"Diary of a Cosmonaut: 211 Days in Space" is the first-person account of a mission to the Salyut-7 space station between May and December of 1982.
		It is ironic that perhaps the most candid first-person account of spaceflight would come from a Soviet cosmonaut.
		But as Mir enters its final days as a human outpost, it is worth remembering the Russians have now accumulated nearly 20 uninterrupted years of experience living in low-Earth orbit, and they have an amazing story to tell.

		Whereas flown Russian cosmonauts may send Official Mail, unflown cosmonauts and non-Russian cosmonauts (except for active NASA or European guest cosmonauts) have to pay for their postage.
		In Russia and the C.I.S. unflown cosmonauts are usually not regarded as cosmonauts, and it has been a habit amongst cosmonauts not to send out signatures before the space flight effectively has taken place.

		He was selected for cosmonaut training in May 1966, as a member of the Soviet manned lunar program and then as back-up researcher for Soyuz 7 before being assigned to the Salyut cosmonaut group.
		The cosmonauts were forced to use back-up equipment to get home, landing in darkness after enduring unusually high G-loads during reentry.
		By October 1982, when Rukavishnikov began training as part of a USSR-India Salyut 7 flight, the other cosmonauts were joking that each Salyut was equipped with an "anti-Rukavishnikov" device (he had also been assigned to a Salyut crew in 1973, but Salyut itself failed to reach orbit).

		Gregor's investigation of the aliens who pilot interplanetary craft the friendly but uncommunicative saurs and the huge kraken eventually leads to a surprising link between past and present.
