According to the Yu. A. Gagarin CTC, the first conditional crew completed training in the forest on Wednesday. Cosmonaut candidates Harutyun Kiviryan, Alexander Kolyabin and Sergey Teteryatnikov have successfully completed training on the actions of the crew during landing in a wooded and swampy area in winter. Recall that they started testing on January 31 and spent almost two days in the open air.

Summing up the preliminary results, Anatoly Zabruskov, head of the CPC cosmonaut extreme training department, stressed that the weather conditions complicated the situation. In particular, due to the abundance of snow and dampness, the training participants spent a lot of energy collecting firewood and kindling a fire, but in they passed all the tests with dignity.

Recall: after landing on March 19, 1965 at an off-design point, the crew of the Voskhod-2 spacecraft - cosmonauts Pavel Belyaev and Alexei Leonov - had to wait a long time for rescuers. To survive in the middle of a snowy forest 180 km from Perm, they used all available means. Since then, astronauts have been trained to act in a similar situation.
