The Cosmonaut Sea Wedge

Marine Geophysical Researches, 2008
A set of multi-channel seismic profiles (∼15,000 km) is used to study the depositional evolution of the Cosmonaut Sea margin of East Antarctica. We recognize a regional sediment wedge, below the upper parts of the continental rise, herein termed the Cosmonaut Sea Wedge. The wedge is situated stratigraphically below the inferred glaciomarine section and

Cosmonaut

2023
In this book, Cathleen Lewis discusses how the public image of the Soviet cosmonaut developed beginning in the 1950s and the ways this icon has been reinterpreted throughout the years and in contemporary Russia. Compiling material and cultural representations of the cosmonaut program, Lewis provides a new perspective on the story of Soviet spaceflight,

The Birth of the Cosmonaut

2023
For many years, a very simple story was told to the world about Yuri Gagarin, the first human being to visit space, to sustain the idealized image of the Soviet space program. Granted, the true story behind this historic accomplishment is much more complicated.

Brain Tissue–Volume Changes in Cosmonauts

New England Journal of Medicine, 2018
Changes in Brain Volume in Cosmonauts Ten cosmonauts, who spent an average of 189 days in space, had changes in brain volumes — mainly decreased cortical volume and increased CSF subarachnoid and v...

Selection and biomedical training of cosmonauts

Advances in Space Research, 1992
Abstract The twenty-eight year experience to support safety of manned space missions, points to the validity of a chosen and adopted USSR concept of cosmonaut selection and training. Medical selection was based on the observations made in clinical medicine, medical expertise of the flying personnel, and experimental investigations concerning space ...

A Vietnamese cosmonaut

2015
In 1980 Pham Tuan, a 33-year-old native of Vietnam, became the first person from a Third World country to fly in space. At the time, he was regarded by Vietnam’s hard-line communist leaders as the ideal candidate to become that war-torn nation’s first man to fly into space.

Founder of cosmonautics

Thermophysics and Aeromechanics, 2007
The paper described the creative path of K.E. Tsiolkovsky, the founder of theoretical cosmonautics, who devoted his life to solving various problems in the field of aerodynamics and rocket engineering, creating dirigibles with a metallic shell, jet planes, and air-cushioned trains, and studying the origin of planets, the Sun, and the Universe. The main

Visual Experiences of the Astronauts and Cosmonauts

Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 1963
The major visual experiences of the astronauts and cosmonauts are described and compared with predictions of man's visual capabilities made prior to actual space flight. These experiences are discussed in terms of their implications about requirements for man's visual capabilities in future space flights.

Vestibular tests in the selection of cosmonauts

Acta Astronautica, 1981
Vestibulo-vegetative disorders in cosmonauts and astronauts occurring during space flight compel otolaryngologists to search for vestibular tests enabling a precise evaluation of the activity of the vestibular apparatus and showing disposition to motion sickness.
