Annotation:
It was in the hydrolaboratory of the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center that the concept of "floating in zero gravity" was born. A unique simulator for simulating the state of weightlessness in water was created immediately after Alexey Leonov's spacewalk. This was necessary, moreover, future researchers may have to work not only in space, but also under water, since scientists believe that there are planets completely covered with water in the Universe.
Reel №1
The decision to create a special simulator in the Star City to simulate weightlessness in water was made after Alexei Leonov's spacewalk.
An oil storage facility was used as a basis for the construction of the basin, its dimensions were suitable for the layout of the Salyut orbital station.
During its work, the hydrolaboratory has seen all the stations - Salyut, Mir, ISS, and even a fragment of the Buran cabin.
This is a truly unique facility, it was and remains the only one in the country for preparing astronauts for work in outer space.
Hydrocosmos is one of the serious tests for beginners.
Diving training is a mandatory subject for everyone.
There have been cases when it was here, in the pool, that the fate of a candidate for cosmonauts was decided, whether he would be able to work in outer space.
Like space, water does not forgive mistakes.
