	The Future Of Russia's Manned Space Program
		All of the cosmonauts and astronauts are training in Zvyozdny Gorodok outside of Moscow and at the Lyndon B. Johnson Center in Houston, Texas.
		The cosmonaut training center is able to guarantee the safety not only of professional but of amateur cosmonauts, he said.
		Cosmonauts must go to the International Space Station not for the sake of the missions themselves, but they must conduct research, he said.

	Cosmonaut training conducted in the Center
		Cosmonaut training is a kind of integrated activities, intended to generate and maintain entirety of specific knowledge, skills and experience that are necessary to succeed in space mission and are considered to be a major part of cosmonaut’s proficiency.
		While having the basic training the candidates for cosmonauts have to develop profound and steady knowledge in the field of sciences that comprise the base of space flights (theory of manned space vehicle’s flight, space navigation basics, design principles of manned space vehicles and launch-rockets, launching sites, etc.).
		The cosmonaut training program at all stages is scheduled on the basis of separate training events that depend on the training tasks and purposes of a certain cosmonaut group or crew.

	SPACE.com -- Touring the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center Museum
		The road leading to one of the world's leading technological (albeit, often overlooked) centers is surprisingly rural; it's basically located in the country, with farms and small roadside stands serving as the most noticeable of any local landmarks.
		The Training Center, established on January 11, 1960, was created to develop the scientific and technical prerequisites for manned spaceflight.
		While we also visited some of the classrooms used to teach cosmonauts and viewed the full-scale mock-up of the recently deorbited Mir space station, the highlight of this tour, at least personally, was the Training Center Museum.

		During one of them the test subject was to write down her first and last name, put in the date and sign; during another, she was to eat from a squeeze tube; during still another, to pronounce a set phrase over the radio.
		Parachute training was viewed as one of the key skills, because with Vostok spacecraft the cosmonaut had to eject herself and land separately.
		In the letter he sent to the higher authorities, he indicated that the candidates from the first complement had basic training and could be retrained for the new mission more quickly and at less cost.
