🟢A new record!

12,000 people applied to join the cosmonaut corps. Roscosmos held an open recruitment. Criteria included excellent health, a higher education degree in exact, natural, or medical sciences, and proficiency in foreign languages.

The profession of a cosmonaut is shrouded in romance, but in reality, flying to the stars is incredible hard work. And candidate training is a true test of strength, endurance, and resilience. For example, before flying to space, a pilot spends several days in a soundproof chamber. Far from everyone can endure that.

See more about the training in our video and in the episode ‘Training for Space’ of ‘Inland Visions’ series.
