Already during the training they chose two of them, and i flew alone. The flight into space was preceded by months of training together with a backup. And now the vast experience accumulated by the star city instructors in all climatic zones of the country is being passed on to future syrian cosmonauts. Analysis will come later. And the divers had already appreciated the actions of munir habib and Muhammad Faris and presented these lydias. Do these flowers grow in your homeland . Unfortunately we dont have it. Are such trainings necessary or not . Of course, as your proverb will say, seeing once is better than hearing 100 times, such training is very important, because without such training, we will not imagine how we can rescue from the water. Muhammad faris was not an allawi, like most representatives of the government of the Syrian Arab Republic and the baaz party. Allegedly, this played a decisive role in emphasizing the unity of the nation. On july 22 , 1987, on the soyuz tm3 spacecraft, he went to the mir station together with the soviet cosmonauts viktorenko and aleksandrov almost immediately complain about your health. Space. Time, several days, one might say, difficult in the sense that he also felt some discomfort within himself. The Space Program for the first syrian cosmonaut was not particularly difficult, it was necessary to photograph the territory of syria and the historical ruins of. I took with me damascus steel, syrian soil, took photographs of my family, my children, more childrens toys, a figurine of a small man, a cow and a small plush heart. I took more of my childrens toys, of course, a portrait of its president , hafez alassad, and we had it on board next to the portrait of gorbachev, our leader at that time. The former general found himself on the other side of the barricades at the beginning of the syrian conflict and eventually fled the country. It was a necessary measure, and i left syria. The closest country where i could go was turkey. I feel like a stone that was pulled out of its native place and taken to a foreign land. In turkey, faris joined the government in exile and became a selfproclaimed minister. In the news my son found out that the mir space station was flooded, he was very upset about it. Previously, syria also had its own cosmonautics day; the syrian gagarin was honored on all tv channels, but after fariss betrayal, they tried to forget it in their homeland. And of course, after i had already moved from syria to turkey, and my views began to differ from those of you. With faris, they say, and communicate in the same way, that is, we have no contraindications, in principle it is impossible to say whether he is an enemy, not an enemy, a friend, or who he, they cant say anything at all, heres the story, there are many refugees from syria in istanbul and faris remained very popular until his death, they often stopped him on the street to take a photo with him, he hoped that in exile. The best of the best were sent into soviet space from the socialist countries; usually these were active military pilots with Excellent Health and high intelligence. I was the first pilot to shoot down. A vietnamese pilot was able to approach a group of american aircraft from a distance of 2 km fire two heatseeking missiles. After explosions on board the strategic bomber, the fighter turned sharply to the left and returned to the airfield. At the same moment , famtouan won eight more victories. we flew into space immediately after the war with america, the soviet union provided us with enormous assistance in the war, thanks to which. the vietnamese people have won, but now we are flying into space together, clearly demonstrating the great friendship and solidarity of our two peoples in a new era, although this flight has a small scientific significance, but its political significance is really great. There is something significant, something symbolic in the fact that yesterdays fighter for the freedom of his homeland, who distinguished himself in battles with american aggressors, shot down a b52 flying fortress. Today, hand in hand with soviet cosmonauts, he is engaged in Peaceful Research work in space. In addition to photographing the territory of vietnam, for accurate cartography, pham thuan on the salyut 6 space station also conducted an experiment, atypical for a military pilot, to grow weightlessness of the aquatic fern azola. And the experiment was just to study how it behaves in space, will it . In his homeland he is still loved and celebrated as a loon. According to tradition, like all soviet cosmonauts, fantoine, upon returning from orbit, became a hero of the soviet union. In the vietnamese army, he always held senior command positions, rose to the rank of lieutenant general, was. The head of the Defense Industry of vietnam, and with the change in the countrys economic course, the chairman of a military commercial bank, now the astronaut is retired, babysits his grandchildren and writes memoirs. The first afghan cosmonaut, ahad momat, who managed to fly on the soyuz tm6 to the mir station, was popular with the prosoviet government. On august 29, 1988, ahad momant went into space, and 5 months later his country fell into the abyss. At the height of the civil war, ahad momant, who received a gold star from gorbachev, tried to fly to moscow, but he was never given a visa. Yeltsins russia no longer needed its own heroes of the soviet union, let alone afghan ones, even more so. Yaahad emigrated to germany, where he often recalled how cosmos did not want to let him go to earth. Due to problems with the engines, the crew risked remaining in orbit forever. Lyakhov turned it on manually , switched off again and. He tried again, switched off again, worked for a short time, the crew spent more than a day in limbo, without food or toilet. The idea of joint Space Exploration together with friendly countries arose back in the midsixties years, when it became clear that the soviet union had everything Scientific Research simply does not have enough funds. You develop your instruments, and we install them on our satellites, and we will use the results of this research on these instruments together, and on these conditions , out of all. Socialist countries , eight agreed, but four countries refused for various reasons. At first there was a joint Satellite Program, orbiters, which were called intercosmos, were made in dnepropetrovsk, such satellites in the entire history of intercosmos in the ninetyfirst year after the collapse of the union, 24 were launched, one of them was unsuccessful due to a launch vehicle accident. Kapustina yara is the last intercosmos 25, which flew in december of ninetyone. This is where the Intercosmos Program basically ended. In 1976, members of the intercosmos Satellite Program were invited to take part in manned cosmonaut flights. And the first to start from baikanur was the czech vladimir remik. 16 years and 11 months after Yuri Gagarins flight, the First International crew under the Intercosmos Program launched. Remember how did moscow meet yuri gagarin . Czechoslovakia welcomes its first cosmonaut, vladimir remik. He made the flight together with alexey guborev. Mid eighties soviet union to manned flights. Began to attract capitalist countries, demonstrating friendship and openness in the name of peaceful exploration of space, so an austrian, an englishman, a japanese and a representative of friendly india visited orbit. When we went to the store, this was 1982, before perestroika, there were huge lines for everything for our wives. Together with his understudy rake sharma have already been at baikanur and watched the start of the next alliance with vladimir tetov and gennady strikalov on board. The next ship was supposed to fly a crew with a representative of india, but the unexpected happens. Instead of the roar of engines there is silence, instead of a trail of fire there is a flame of fire, instead of a rocket there is a twohundredton fire. The launch vehicle explodes right at the start, however. And in 1980, the first representative of the african race, cuban tamaya mendez arnalda, went into space. He beat out africanamerican astronaut guyon bluford for three years. Because of russian prejudices, which in the early eighties still prevailed in the states. In space, cosmonaut from the gdr sigmund yehn worked with a unique german designed camera that could photograph the earth in six different spectra. We photographed the earths surface using the mkf6 camera. Mkf6 was placed on salute 6, to which a german cosmonaut arrived and worked with this Assembly Chamber of our station. That is, this is one of the experiments that turned out to be very expensive, because we have no analogues before so far, this is an mkf6 device. A multispectral photosystem mkf6 is installed in a special photo compartment, the result of the joint efforts of soviet and german scientists. It was manufactured at the National Enterprise carls zeiss and ena in the gdr. Six photographic lenses simultaneously photograph the planet. They see the earth differently, through their own. And these six photographic views in different parts of the visible and infrared spectrum will create a generalized spectral image of the earths surface. After the collapse of the soviet union and the warsaw bloc, all colors of the political spectrum went into disarray, and the gdr camera only impartially recorded how the berlin wall was collapsing. The new authorities tried to erase their cosmonauts from history, as if there was no space at all, and joint flights into orbit were harmful communist propaganda. The only polish cosmonaut, general miroslaw hermaszewski, who at that time was the Deputy Commander of the rocket forces, was dismissed from the army by mail and wanted to deprive him of all awards, but hermoshe. Was a loyal friend of russia and an implacable fighter against ukrainian nationalism. In the village lipniki, where the future polish cosmonaut was born, banderra brutally killed almost 200 people during the volyn massacre. But in the photo our neighbor is without a head, it was cut off by the upa punitive forces, and my parents managed to escape from the village. I was one and a half years old at the time, my mother later told me that banderas men shot at her, she fell and dropped me somewhere in a field, but my father then found and. Warmed me up, i barely survived, the cosmonauts father, then banderas men after all found and finished off, and the village was burned to the ground, in that massacre almost 20 relatives of miroslav died, land from their native land germashevsky even took the ashes with him into orbit; it is a relic. Mongolian cosmonaut, guraksha zhukder damedin, at the beginning. For a week, dzhennibekov and gorakcha, together with the hosts of the fireworks, have been carrying out experiments under the Intercosmos Program. Returned when he was 3 years old, mongols and russians are connected by warm memories and friendship. Over the 13 years of the existence of the Intercosmos Program, representatives of seventeen states have been in orbit, for most of them this was the first and only opportunity to send their citizen into space. American democracy is now also shaking, this scale of russia, there is something russian about you that europe does not understand. The division of the group of Russian Troops in the west occupied more advantageous positions, the Southern Group improved the situation along the front line, the ministry of defense reported. Active hostilities were carried out by troops of the center group, who managed to occupy the village of semyonovka
