In our country, we say cosmonaut.

While they're putting Uncle Sam in cuckoo clocks... we will put Soviet cosmonaut on moon.

The flight of a cosmonaut on STS 60 in February 1994 began Phase 1 of the international Space Station.

On 20 October 1995, cosmonaut S. Avdeev and astronaut T. Reiter made a walk in open space lasting 5 hours, 16 minutes.

The spaceship transported a crew consisting of United States astronaut Leroy Chiao and Russian cosmonaut Salizhan Sharipov and also cosmonaut Yuri Shargin, who went for a 10 day orbital mission and then returned on 24 October together with the crew of the ninth main mission who had worked on the Station for six months.

NASA astronauts Bonnie Dunbar and Norm Thagard have been training to fly on the Mir space station since March 1994 at the Russian Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City.

In Russia, you get asked for your autograph if you are a proper hero an ice hockey player, a cosmonaut, a high society prostitute, or, like Lugovoi, an executioner.

The Subcommittee took note of the thirty fifth anniversary of the first human space flight executed on 12 April 1961 by the cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin of the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

This flight constituted part of the Russian National Space Programme and was the longest spaceflight to date performed by the Russian Physician Cosmonaut Valery V. Polyakov totalling a duration of 437 days and 17 hours.

The cosmonaut, research scientist and medical doctor, V. Polyakov, who had begun his sojourn in space on 8 January 1994 as a member of what was then the 15th principal expedition, completed a record flight lasting 437 days, 18 hours.

The crew of Atlantis STS 86 consisted of seven astronauts, including the Russian cosmonaut V. Titov, the French astronaut Jean Louis Chrétien and the NASA 6 astronaut David Wolf, who replaced the NASA 5 astronaut Michael Foale on board the Mir station.

This culturally desiccated world is much more alien than the red desert of the Martian landscape that Tereshkova and her cosmonaut friends including her husband dreamed of in their youth. The collapse of the country for which she lived underscores her overwhelming sense of tragedy.

The total duration of foreign cosmonauts staying on Mir during that period was over 600 days and the recent trend is to extend the duration of visiting expeditions from the traditional 7 to 8 days to 20 to 21 days, and to incorporate foreign cosmonaut researchers into the crews of primary expeditions.

Progress M 50 took to the ISS fuel components, water, service equipment and supplies, instruments for scientific experiments, 28 mini containers with food and personal parcels for Gennady Padalka, the pilot cosmonaut, and Edward Michael Fincke, the flight engineer, as well as for the next crew, who were to leave for the Station on 9 October.

The crew of that mission, Russian cosmonaut Gennady Padalka and astronaut Edward Michael Fincke of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States, took over from the crew of the eighth main mission, Alexander Kaleri and Michael Foel, who during their six months on board the ISS had carried out numerous scientific experiments, more than 40 of them part of the Russian programme.

In the course of an eight day expedition (3 11 February 1995), an international crew composed of the American astronauts J. Wetherbee, E. Collins, M. Foale, B. Harris and J. Voss Ford and the Russian cosmonaut V. Titov completed an important phase of the joint Russian American manned space flight programme, namely the approach of the orbital craft to the Mir research station and the flight around it.

It noted that important new information in those fields had been obtained through experiments on the Mir space station, particularly during the joint ESA Russian Federation long duration EUROMIR apos 95 mission, during the first long duration flight of a woman cosmonaut, during the first flight of a United States astronaut aboard the Mir space station and during two docking missions of the United States Space Shuttle with the Mir space station.
