Cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev shared his opinion about the differences in preparation for flights on the Soyuz and Crew Dragon spacecraft. According to him, the preparation system for a flight on the Soyuz is much more complex and serious.
Artemyev is preparing for the Crew-12 mission, which will take place in 2026. He said that on the Soyuz it is necessary to control the ship, while on the Crew Dragon the astronaut only controls its operation.
It is necessary to pass about 150 exams, while on Crew Dragon - no more than 10.
The cosmonaut confessed that he is looking forward to the next flight, which will take place after passing several medical commissions. He called space his second home and added that he is drawn there more and more.
Roscosmos and NASA continue to cooperate within the framework of the ISS program, carrying out cross-flights. Artemyev already has three space flights and more than 560 days in space. He has performed eight spacewalks.
