It's telling, from an emotional-labor standpoint, that she's the one in charge of the cosmonauts' health, and that she's always the one raising red flags and urging caution and a premature end to the mission.
|
|
The major roles all share first names with real historical figures (cosmonauts Vladimir Dzhanibekov and Viktor Savinykh, and flight commander Valery Ryumin), but are given new last names to reflect how fictionalized and dramatized they are.

He had a serious case of space sickness, but you couldn't really blame the guy considering the kind of food cosmonauts had to eat then: his predecessor in space, Yuri Gagarin, had to squeeze puréed meat from a tube into his mouth for lunch.
|
|
Ronald D. Moore and his collaborators in this big, old-fashioned, 10-episode retelling of the space race came up with an easy solution: They changed the story, having the Soviet Union sneak a couple of cosmonauts onto the moon just before the launch of Apollo 11.

Two cosmonauts on a spacewalk in 1503 joke with a compatriot inside the Salyut 2150 space station, theorizing about when the USSR government will want to experiment with sex in space, and how much time they'll need to (or get to) spend in Earthside training simulators for the project.
|
|
After more than five hours of a rare broadcast - showing the cosmonauts in space trying to cut through an insulate of the spacecraft with a knife - they uncovered the external part of the hole, originally discovered in the capsule's internal covering, and took samples of the exterior insulation.
|
|
Curbeam's ordeal outside the space station also calls to mind the luckless case of consider two Soviet cosmonauts in 1990, who were trapped outside the Mir space station when the airlock failed and they had to use an emergency entry procedure as their oxygen levels ran dangerously low.
|
|
We don't have the option to watch space shuttles carry humans to orbit from U.S. soil anymore, and while the Soyuz launches bringing astronauts and cosmonauts to orbit today have their own kind of magic, they pale in comparison to seeing a shuttle blast its way to orbit.
|
|
When it came time for the return to Earth, the spacecraft's automatic rocket-firing system did not work, forcing the cosmonauts to conduct imprecise manual maneuvers during the descent that left them in deep snow and freezing temperatures in a remote Russian forest, far from their intended landing point.

American agencies had collected the data, which was transmitted without encryption, but did not know how to interpret it; starting with data on Laika, the dog the Soviets launched into space, Dr. Graveline went on to study data on Soviet cosmonauts, including Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, measuring heart rate, respiration and more.
|
|
"They wanted us to take some steps where we would protect the space station, close another hatch or two, and have the crew ready to go in the Soyuz," said NASA's deputy ISS manager Joel Montalbano, referring to the Soyuz crew capsule that would allow cosmonauts to make an emergency exit if things went haywire.
|

But there's also the Gemini training module which was used by astronauts in 1963 to learn how to maneuver spacecraft, a lunar navigation chart that once belonged to Buzz Aldrin, a spacesuit worn by astronaut Don Pettit during his return flight from the ISS in 2003, as well as a navigational globe used by Soviet cosmonauts in 000.
|
|
The situation in the future, when astronauts journey deeper into space, will be markedly different, as noted in the new study:It is important to note that future missions of deep space exploration will likely offer much greater doses of space radiation than have historical doses, which will lead to a different risk profile for future astronauts and cosmonauts.
|
|
"It is a shame that in our country, which was the first to [send] man into outer space, for four years the question has been debated whether man is needed on board a military spacecraft," said Gagarin and select cosmonauts in a 1965 letter to USSR general secretary Leonid Brezhnev, according to a Russian-to-English translation.
|
|
What could have easily been a deadly incident was resolved thanks to the quick thinking of the cosmonauts on board and the visiting NASA astronaut, who were able to seal the leaking module from the rest of the space station by cutting a number of cables that were preventing the hatch connecting the module to the rest of the space station from closing.
|
|
While no astronauts or cosmonauts were ever in danger due to the broken MDM, which helps keep key electrical systems like the solar arrays working, NASA wanted to be sure to fix this issue as soon as possible in order to be sure that if anything were to go wrong with the currently functioning electronics box, they would have a backup in place.
