SPACE ADVENTURES: Orbital Space Flight We've Got Space - Adventures in Orbital Space Flight

An Overview of the Orbital Qualification Process, Page 1

There are four training steps that all aspiring cosmonauts must
complete prior to embarking on a mission into space.

Step One: Medical Qualification Examination
Step Two: Theoretical Lessons, Lectures and Active Hands-On Simulator Training
Step Three: Learning how to work as valuable member of a cosmonaut team.
Step Four: Actual training with other members of your assigned mission team.

STEP ONE: The Medical - What to Expect

Any individual seeking a thorough analysis of their health condition may apply for testing. No interest in space travel is required. The total cost of tests is a fraction of what it would cost to have testing completed in a US hospital.

Applications for testing and full payment is requested no less than thirty days in advance so the IMBP can prepare for your arrival. A patient/applicant must have the following documents:

• Complete medical history
• Data on the psychiatric illnesses, alcohol and drug history
• Recent urine and blood analyses
• Analysis for AIDS, RW, HbS-antigen, antigen to C hepatitis
• Ultrasonic examination, ECG

The following examinations are performed in the IMBP:

The head of medical testing: Voronkov Yuri Ivanovich - Head of Department for Cosmonauts' Selection, Doctor of Medical Sciences.

Principle Investigator is Dobrokvashina Elena Ivanovna - Cosmonaut Researcher, Candidate for Medical Sciences.
