Russian Cosmonauts Prepare For Next Mission
Translations below. The next crew due to head for the International Space Station (ISS) is undergoing final training sessions ahead of next month #39;s launch. Russian cosmonaut Roman Romanenko, Canadian and American astronauts Chris Hadfield and Thomas Marshburn are undergoing their training in Moscow region #39;s Star City.

It #39;s a very strong feeling", recalls cosmonaut Roman Romanenko of his first flight. Previously, the crew underwent a preparation course at NASA on working with the American segment of the ISS. "I #39;ve been an astronaut for 20 years, I #39;ve been training for this flight for four years.
