In many ways, other than getting men onto the surface of the Moon,
the Russian space program was more successful than the American
manned space program. Cosmonauts logged many more hours in space,
were supported by a complex and extensive network of ground crews,
and had state-of-the-art training facilities at the Gagarin
Training Center, located at Zvezdny Gorodok (Star City) outside of
Moscow and named after Yuri Gagarin (first Russian in space), which
includes equipment for simulating missions aboard Soyuz and the
Russian modules of the International Space Station. The Center also
has a neutral buoyancy facility similar to that at the Marshall
Space Flight Center. This is the first book to offer an inside look
at the remarkable training and accomplishments of the Soviet
Union's cosmonauts.
