We will take on this case, it will be an honest detective story. Our broadcast will continue with alexander rogatkins documentary, the heaviness of zero gravity, on the international and soviet Intercosmos Program. How they selected cosmonauts for the First International corps, what the requirements were for the candidates and how their fate turned out after the flight to the mir orbital station, watch about it right now. The flight into space was preceded by months of training together with a backup. And now the vast experience accumulated by star city instructors in all climatic zones country is transmitted by the future syrian astronaut. The analysis will come later, but the divers have already assessed the actions of munir habib and muhammad faris. And they presented these lydias, do such flowers grow in your homeland . Unfortunately, we dont have such training, do we need such training 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 it is possible to rescue from water through a helicopter. Like most representatives of the Syrian Government arab republic and the baaz party, supposedly this played a decisive role to emphasize the unity of the nation. On july 22 , 1987, on the soyuz tm3 spacecraft, he went to the mir station, together with soviet cosmonauts viktorenko and aleksandrov, and almost immediately began to complain about his health; space nutrition in tubes could not replace traditional food for him. His general physical condition was simply somewhat difficult in the sense that for some time, for several days, one might say, he felt 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 palmyra using the gde camera mkf6. The camera operates in six spectral zones and has high resolution. Space images increase the efficiency of searching for minerals. Help to investigate the state of the land. Otherwise, it was political pr and a demonstration of the syrian flag in space. I took with me damascus steel, syrian soil, i took photographs of my family, my children, more childrens toys, a figurine of a little man, a cow and a small plush heart. Paris, except for toys. Of course, he also took his children with a portrait of his president , hafez alassad, and we had it on board next to the portrait of gorbachev, our leader at that time. Hero of the soviet union and the first syrian cosmonaut, mohammed faris, in recent years, has harshly criticized the russian authorities for supporting president Bashar Alassad with a portrait of his father, whom hafez alassad, faris flew into space. I would like to thank all my compatriots, first all our leader, president hafez alassad, for the care he shows towards us, 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 my native place and taken to a foreign land. In turkey, faris joined the government in exile, became the selfproclaimed minister of defense and repeatedly accused russia in the bombing of civilians, he once even named his son after the mir space station. When my son learned on the news that the mir space station would be flooded. And of course, after i had already moved from syria to turkey, and my views began to differ from the views of the government, the programs about me and my flight were taken off the air. And even canceled the holiday. Faris regrets that after his escape he was no longer invited to russia to celebrate cosmonautics day. Before this they always called me, there were no problems with it, but recently not they call, they dont invite. I know the reason, of course, its politics, unfortunately. Heres the story. There are many refugees from syria in istanbul and faris remained very popular until his death. People often stopped him on the street to take pictures with him. He hoped that in emigration his experience would be useful for training the first turkish cosmonaut. Elon musks rocket flight, but in turkey they managed without his help. I still remember every moment of my flight, how we docked at the space station, and there are times when i have dreams that i am still in orbit and flying in zero gravity. 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 b52 over hanoi, shoot down a b52 for the vietnamese. The b52 crash showed that we know how to fight and are determined to win. The american flying fortress was shot down at mig21 during the socalled christmas bombings of 1972. Vietnamese pilot was able to approach a group of american aircraft from a distance of 2 km and fire two missiles. Under fishing guidance, after explosions on board the strategic bomber, the fighter turned sharply to the left and returned to the airfield. At the same time, pham tuan scored eight more aerial victories. He had previously undergone accelerated Flight Training in the ussr and was well versed in soviet technology. Specialists from intercosmos selected four vietnamese pilots. One of them was to become the main astronaut, and the other a backup. Famtouan was lucky again. Wearing a spacesuit with badges with stripes on both sides of the vietnamese flag. For the first time i experienced an indescribable feeling. I looked at myself in the mirror. It seemed to me that i saw another person. Vietnamese pilots trained for a year and a half, learned to survive during an emergency landing, and spent hours in icy water. Vietnamese cosmonaut training. We flew into space immediately after the war with america, the soviet union provided us with great assistance in the war, thanks to which the vietnamese people won, but now we are together were flying to kos. 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 the azola aquatic fern in zero gravity. And the experiment was precisely to investigate how it behaves in space, whether it will also reproduce and whether, space. These algae grown in space can be used for nutrition. The fate of the first vietnamese cosmonaut was supportive. 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 a change of economic. Bbc journalists made a big documentary about had mohmand even before the taliban captured kabul. This was a huge responsibility on behalf of afghanistan and the afghan people. I went into space as an afghan, as their representative, i felt it. They filmed in moscow for a long time, and the film went through those places that are still dear to his heart. I was a little boy, like an afghan would go. Living in the village, he flew to afghanistan in his speech he said that the day would come soon, the cosmonauts were in full swing, gorbachev decided to withdraw troops from afghanistan, it was necessary to send ahad into space before the last soviet soldier crossed the bridge of friendship across asshole. August 29 , 1988, akhat momont went into space, and after 5 months his country flew 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 was never given a visa. Yeltsins russia no longer needed its own heroes of the soviet union, let alone afghan ones. Yaahad emigrated to germany, where he often recalled how space did not want to send him back to earth, due to problems with the engines, the crew risked remaining in orbit forever. Lyakhov, he was turned on manually , switched off again, and once again he i tried it, it turned off again, it worked for a short time. The crew spent more than a day in limbo, without food or toilet, but Vladimir Lyakhov still managed to start the engines and return the descent module from the afghan. The astronauts to the ground, and its true we waited there for days, but its getting confusing. 35 years after ahat mohmands flight into orbit, sharia law was introduced in his native afghanistan and womens beauty salons were closed. For many years, ahad is destined to remain the first and only afghan astronaut. The idea of exploring space together with countries refused for various reasons. First there was a joint Satellite Program. The orbital vehicles, called interkosmos, were made in dnepropetrovsk. 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 launch vehicle accidents from kapustin yar, the last one was intercosmos25, which. Flew in december of the ninetyfirst year, and this, in principle, was the end of the Intercosmos Program. In seventysix , members of the Satellite Program intercosmos was invited to take part in manned cosmonaut flights, and the first to launch 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 moscow welcomed yuri gagarin. Czechoslovakia welcomes its first cosmonaut, vladimir remek. He made the flight together with alexey guborev. In the mid eighties, the soviet union began to attract capitalist countries to manned flights, demonstrating friendship and. Openness in the name of peaceful space exploration, an austrian, an englishman, a japanese and a representative of friendly india were in orbit. When we went to the store, this was 1982, before perestroika, there were huge queues for everything, to our wives, standing at the end of the line and dressed in National Clothes sari. They came up and said please come forward. the Common People treated us as the most beloved nation and i think we have raj kapoor to thank for that. His film songs found such a good response in the hearts of soviet people. Together with his stunt double raki sharma was already at the baykanur 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 fiery plume there is a flame of fire, instead of a rocket there is a twohundredton bonfire. The launch vehicle explodes right at the launch, but the Emergency Rescue system pulls the astronauts out of the heat, and this only added to rakish sharmis determination to become the first indian astronaut. This the launch ended in disaster, but it was an opportunity to see the emergency ejection system. Didnt work, yeah, we are professional test pilots, such things shouldnt put us out of action, accidents and incidents are an ordinary part of the job. And in 1980, the first representative of the african race went into space. In space, tr sigmund worked with a unique germandeveloped camera that could photograph the earth in six different spectra. We photographed the earths surface using the mkf6 camera. Iff6 set to fireworks 6, which a german cosmonaut flew to 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 still have no analogues of this mkf6 device. The multispectral photosystem mkf6, the fruit of the joint efforts of soviet and german scientists, is installed in a special photo compartment. It was manufactured at the National Enterprise carls zeiss jena in the gdr. Six photographic lenses simultaneously photograph the planet. They see the earth differently, through their own filter. And these six photo views in different. 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 own. From history, as if there was no space, joint flights into orbit are harmful communist propaganda. The only polish cosmonaut, general miroslaw hermaszewski, who at that time was Deputy Commander of the rocket forces, was dismissed from the army by mail and wanted deprive him of all awards, but germashevsky did not break in spite of his opponents and looked proudly into the sky. At night you look deep into space , these are no longer aesthetic expressions of the phenomenon of experience, but philosophical questions appear, where did you live, and where are we people, and what is it like there, who created . Until his death in the twentysecond year, germashevsky was a loyal friend of russia and an irreconcilable fighter against ukrainian nationalism. In the village of lipniki, where the future polish cosmonaut was born, banderas followers brutally killed almost 200 people during the volyn massacre, heres our photo a neighbor without a head, she was chopped 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 later found me and warmed me up me, i barely survived, the cosmonauts father, then the bandars. Still, they found and finished off, and burned the village to the ground. Almost 20 relatives of miroslav died in that massacre. Germashevsky even took the earth from his native land with him into orbit. This is my relic. The mongolian cosmonaut guraksha zhukderdin was forced to personally rescue the descent vehicle on which he was returning from orbit to the ground. The capsule was almost sent to the landfill, along with the collapsed socialist system. Monuments. General gurgacha was both a deputy of the great khural and the minister of defense of mongolia. All space relics, along with the descent capsule and spacesuit, returned to the newly created astropark space museum. Mom gave me 10 tugriks with her, and my father gave me his snuff box. I also took with me a photo of my son. My son was little then. Examples of food shown here astronaut 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. The groupings of troops discussed the Current Situation in the zone of the special military operation and increasing the effectiveness of the fight against the enemy. The meeting with the commanders was held by the head of the ministry of defense sergei shaigu. The minister noted that the groups are successfully completing their tasks and indicated the necessary intentions to maintain the pace of liberation of the territory
