In total, from 1960 to the end of the 90s, about 40 cosmonauts and space flight candidates underwent pre-flight training in Armenia.
Training with the participation of our employees was also conducted in Star City, at RSC Energia and at the Baikonur testing ground.
During the flights, GIKA employees coordinated the work of cosmonauts from the Flight Control Center (Moscow) and the Center for Deep Space Communications (Evpatoria, Crimea).
