According to TASS, Roscosmos continues to work on the formation female cosmonaut squad that began last summer of the year.
Then about a hundred applications from Russians were filed, but not one woman in view of strict selection did not pass the test, therefore in soon in space from Russia will continue to fly only men.
However, women are required even on board the ISS, not to mention about the more promising plans of Roskosmos. Clarify that in orbit Earth in the entire history of world space exploded only four women, therefore, the fair sex has a chance to become fifth, sixth and so on by a female astronaut.
According to Dmitry Rogozin, Director General of Roscosmos, this year, the selection of women for space flights will take place already not so sluggish, that is, in this unusual competition will not participate dozens, as in 2018, and hundreds of applicants. Especially since corporations and its employees already have experience with such selection. He will no less, and even more rigid. The main requirement for the beautiful sex in this case – excellent health, good physical training, and the woman must be a scientist. As you see, go through such a test is not easy, however, no indulgences for anyone will be.
But those wishing to fly into space, says the astronaut Elena Serova, a lot, and women will have to work in space with men, that is, in intergender teams, and this – communication features, a completely different atmosphere than in a purely women’s group. All this creates certain difficulties, however, for of that woman and are selected for future space flights that early or later, but earthlings will have to master other planets and others space given. And in this case, purely male teams turn out to be psychologically more vulnerable and less efficient, than mixed groups of starships.
