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

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

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.
