The prime and backup crews of the 75th mission to the International Space Station have begun comprehensive examination training at the Yu. A. Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center. The tests are conducted before the scheduled flight and are intended to confirm the readiness of cosmonauts and astronauts for work in orbit.
Mission commander, cosmonaut Pyotr Dubrov, stated that he is confident in his team.
I can rely on any member of our crew, I am confident in everyone who will be with us in orbit. I have no doubt that we have coped with everything that lies ahead.
On Thursday, the prime crew will train on simulators of the Russian segment of the International Space Station. At this time, the backup crew will undergo a complex of training on the "Soyuz MS" transport manned spacecraft simulator. The next day, the crews will switch places.
Examination training is necessary to check how the crew acts before flight and during possible complex situations. Typically, cosmonauts and astronauts practice working with station and spacecraft systems, communication with Earth, procedures for failures, emergency signals, and other scenarios that may require quick and accurate decisions.
The prime mission crew includes Roscosmos cosmonauts Pyotr Dubrov, Anna Kikina, and NASA astronaut Anil Menon.
The backup crew consists of cosmonauts Konstantin Borisov, Dmitry Petelin, and NASA astronaut Denise Burnham.
The launch of the 75th mission to the International Space Station is scheduled for July 14.
