Cosmonaut for a Day
-photo and excerpt by adventure travel photographer
Max Dereta
| I got the chance to find out how it [living on Mir] actually feels
- in the zero-g simulator - a Russian IL-76 MDK aircraft better known as
the Flying Laboratory. This plane goes up and makes a series of
exotic parabolic maneuvers in the sky to simulate zero gravity for its
occupants. Each one lasts approximately 25 seconds.
I go up with 11 others, eight men and three women, from Italy, Holland,
Malaysia and the US. "Get ready", says a voice on the loudspeaker
and suddenly invisible forces press us all to the floor. For a few seconds
we feel twice as heavy as normal and then we all rise from the floor majestically,
totally weightless. We float all over the airplane bouncing into each other,
the walls and the ceiling. One woman pushes herself off the wall and then
flies the length of the cabin, while another performs mid-air forward rolls...
"Twenty-five seconds. Get down!" Abruptly, the zero-g ends
and we all tumble to the floor. The maneuver is repeated 10 times before
we return to Chalovsk airport. The total time we've spent in zero gravity
was just under four minutes, but every second was an adrenaline rush."
