Cosmonauts in training tank at Star City, Russia
Cosmonaut training. Cosmonauts undergoing training in a water tank at Star City, Russia. The large water tank is used to allow training for extravehicular activity (EVA), such as routine or emergency repairs and maintenance. The cosmonauts (in white space suits) are in training to visit the space station Mir. Safety divers (black wetsuits) are in constant attendance. A similar facility is used by NASA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense training undergone by cosmonauts at Star City, Russia. In this particular image, we witness a group of dedicated individuals immersed in a large water tank, simulating the conditions they will face during extravehicular activities (EVA) in space. These brave cosmonauts don their white space suits as they prepare themselves for an upcoming mission to visit the renowned space station Mir. The significance of this training facility cannot be overstated; it serves as a vital tool for honing skills required for routine and emergency repairs and maintenance while in outer space. The presence of safety divers clad in black wetsuits is a testament to the meticulous attention paid to ensuring the well-being of these aspiring astronauts throughout their rigorous training process. It is worth noting that NASA also utilizes a similar facility, emphasizing its importance across international manned spaceflight programs. This photograph not only showcases the dedication and determination exhibited by these cosmonauts but also highlights the collaborative nature of scientific exploration beyond national boundaries. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of the immense effort put forth by those who dare to venture into unknown territories, pushing boundaries and expanding our understanding of what lies beyond our planet's atmosphere.
