  • 118th cosmonaut of Russia (538th in the world)
  • Flight duration (2014): 169 days 05 h 05 min

Oleg Germanovich, the future Russian cosmonaut, was born in the capital of Latvia - the city of Riga, on December 28, 1970. Shortly after his birth, the Artemyev family moved to the city of Leninsk (KSSR), which is today known as Baikonur. Having completed his studies in high school, in 1986 Oleg Artemyev entered the technical school of the city of Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. In 1990, he received a diploma with honors in the field of "Electrical Equipment for Industrial Enterprises", and was sent to serve in the Red Army. After serving a year in Lithuania, Oleg Germanovich enters the Bauman Moscow State Technical University. In 1998, having completed his studies with honors, he received a diploma in the field of Low Temperature Physics. In the same year, the future cosmonaut gets a job at the Energia Corporation.

For the next few years, Artemyev has been involved in onboard documentation, testing equipment for extravehicular activities, taking part in the preparation of one of the ISS modules - Zvezda, which was launched in 2000, as well as in the training of cosmonauts and conducting space missions, being in the Control Center flights.

space career

In 2000, Oleg Germanovich was admitted to special training, after which, in 2003, he successfully passed the technical exams required to enter the cosmonaut corps. As a result, Oleg Artemiev was accepted into the cosmonaut corps. Having completed the course of general space training, in the summer of 2005 he received the qualification of "test cosmonaut".

For the next nine years, Oleg Germanovich went through a series of training and preparations for various space missions. In January 2006, together with two American astronauts, he took a survival test in a wooded deserted area for two days. In June 2006, he underwent training in Sevastopol to carry out work in the event of a spacecraft landing on water. In January 2007, he went through a week-long training in survival in the forest.

In November 2007, Artemyev participated in a 14-day experiment under the MARS-500 program. The purpose of this experiment was to track the physical and psychological state during the two weeks that the astronauts were on the model spacecraft. Subsequent conclusions made it possible to assess the prospects for conducting longer experiments. After 2 years, the 105-day experiment "MARS-500" started, in which Oleg Germanovich also took part. Further lengthy training and examinations, including those on piloting simulators, led Artemyev to be appointed the first onboard engineer of the Soyuz TMA-M TPK, concurrently an ISS flight engineer.

Space flight

On March 26, 2014, the Soyuz TMA-12M spacecraft launched from Earth. The crew included the commander of the detachment - A. Skvortsov, as well as on-board engineers O. Artemiev and S. Swanson (American). A day later, the ship docked with the ISS and the astronauts began their onboard duties. The crew of the Soyuz TMA-12M spacecraft stayed on board the station for more than 165 days, during which time O. Artemyev and A. Skvortsov performed two spacewalks, lasting seven and five hours. During this time, various installation work was carried out, and samples were taken for the presence of bacteria on the outside of the porthole.

Soyuz TMA-12M undocked from the ISS on September 11, 2014, and a few hours later landed on the lands of Kazakhstan.

space training

On May 29, 2003, Artemyev was enrolled in the cosmonaut corps for general space training (the 15th cosmonaut recruitment of RSC Energia). On June 16, 2003, he began general space training, which he completed on June 28, 2005, having passed the state exams at the CTC with an "excellent" rating. On July 5, 2005, he was qualified as a test cosmonaut. Since July 2005, he was trained in the group of specialization and improvement of the Yu. A. Gagarin CTC. Since November 2005 - test cosmonaut of the 291st division of RSC Energia.

“Space is like a drug. He just returned to Earth, but again he is drawn to the stars and into weightlessness. There is a feeling that something has not been completed there, - Oleg Artemiev says dreamily. – It’s beyond words when you do what you love and have the opportunity to observe the Earth from space. It's such a pleasure. I think that any person, if he knew that he was going to see what I saw and feel what I felt, would certainly want to fly to the ISS.

At the same time, the astronaut-blogger did not particularly dream of being an astronaut, although he grew up in the very space city - Baikonur. However, perhaps that’s why he didn’t dream: they perfectly understood who they take as astronauts and what kind of work it is to fly to the stars. They looked at the astronauts there as if they were celestials.

“At our school, some of the guys wanted to be pilots, some wanted to be sailors, but only a few dreamed of becoming astronauts. We all understood that this is a very difficult and dangerous job. For me it was something unattainable. Astronauts are super people. We were afraid to look at their level in childhood. They seemed to have the best of everything. For example, they lived in the best hotel - "Cosmonaut", and they had the most delicious apples in their garden. We had no doubt about it,” the cosmonaut shares his memories.

And Oleg Artemiev, having read Jules Verne, fell in love with navigation, dreamed of discovering new lands, islands. But he did not succeed. As a student, he got on an excursion to the Energia Corporation, and thought that since he could not become a sailor, he could try to become an astronaut. Growing up, I decided to take the peak, which in childhood seemed inaccessible.

“Astronauts are the same sailors. We, in principle, have a profession similar to submariners. The same problems, the same struggle for survival, the same life support systems. In general, a submarine is like a spaceship, but under water. Only submariners, to be honest, have more chances to escape, of course. Well, we also say “spaceship”, namely “ship”. In general, a cosmonaut is such a sailor-astronomer, ”admits Oleg Artemiev.

His first flight "sailor-astronomer" was waiting for 11 years.

“Of course, it’s a long time, but it’s worth it,” the astronaut is sure.

The most memorable thing that happened to him on the ISS was a spacewalk. Artemiev had two of them. The first lasted seven and a half hours, the second - more than five.

“We have been preparing for this for a long time on Earth. We trained in a hydro laboratory, under water. There, divers take care of you, they can help, support you. But there is no weightlessness there, so underwater, of course, is more difficult. And in space - only you and your friend. It's easier, but much more dangerous. In principle, the most dangerous work is in open space, of course,” Artemyev notes.

Cosmonauts and astronauts have a huge number of traditions and superstitions. But for Oleg Artemiev, the most important tradition is to do everything according to the instructions and on-board documentation.

“Everything else is invented by the person himself. In space, the price of a mistake is very high - this is a person's life, so there is no time for traditions, ”says the cosmonaut.

Artemiev calls the ISS crew "a diamond of international cooperation."

“This is not Earth for you, you can’t quarrel there,” the astronaut assures. - It so happened that I lived in the American sector. The Russian has two cabins, and the American has four. And one of them is always behind the Russian crew member. It turns out that in space we have complete mutual understanding and peace with all crew members.”

In the evenings, cosmonauts and astronauts have joint dinners. Sometimes they watch movies, sometimes even about space. Only such films are perceived by the astronauts more as a comedy. Oleg Artemiev remembered how he watched "Gravity" with the guys who build spaceships. And such laughter, according to his confession, he had never heard in his life.

“For us, of course, there are many funny moments in the film. But the truth is that this is a very dangerous job, and you need to have a sober and clear mind to get out of difficult situations", - said Artemiev.

But in fact, film screenings on the ISS are rare.

“If you flew into space, then why waste time on films? I will look at them at home, - says the cosmonaut. There is always a lot to do at the station. Here something unscrewed, here it is necessary to do something or prepare for experiments. Well, or at least look for a bow, which strives to get lost in zero gravity. Then fly, look for him on the ISS. Onions are very difficult to grow. If he catches the eye of one of the crew members, he tries to bite off a piece of green from him. You have to hide it so that the big onion grows. I grew it four times, and we ate greens for some holidays. Sometimes it happens that the bow disappears. The station is weightless and ventilated. And once - and flew away. Then you find it by chance somewhere, and it is already quite big.

Many have seen this space bow grown by Artemyev on his social media pages. To the delight of fans, the astronaut even made a video on how to take selfies in space. But before the flight, he never touched social networks: “I never used them. It seemed to take too long. And in space, I had to start Twitter. Roskosmos gave me such a task, one might say. Users asked me a lot of questions. When I have time, I answer. Now I have returned to Earth, I will try to answer more often.

According to Artemyev, the lucky ones have two and a half years between flights. However, sometimes you have to wait five or ten years. At this time, the cosmonauts are busy with their studies, each test and exam must be retaken every three years, and the equipment is constantly being modernized, and new items have to be studied. Artemiev admitted that when scientists are going to build a new station, he will definitely ask that the treadmill be placed at the window. Then it will be possible to run to the ISS and observe the Earth. And for physical health well, and the eye rejoices.
