Cosmonautics. Replenishment of the star squad (2018)

Flights to the ISS, tests of a new manned spacecraft, expeditions to the orbit of the Moon, and then to the surface of our eternal satellite - these are the main goals for the next decade in the Russian manned cosmonautics program.

A new set of cosmonauts has been completed at Roscosmos.

Eight people entered the final, among them Evgeny Prokopyev, brother of cosmonaut Sergei Prokopyev.

The applicants went to the cherished goal for more than a year and a half.

The next set of cosmonauts is planned to be held until 2020, after which the detachment will be fully formed for several years.

The plot starred Dmitry Rogozin, Pavel Vlasov, Sergey Krikalev, candidates for the cosmonaut squad Konstantin Borisov and Evgeny Prokopyev.
