23 h 39 min (2000) Biography On August 27, 1958, the future cosmonaut Sergey Konstantinovich Krikalev was born in Leningrad.
He graduated from secondary education in 1975, at the same time he received a specialty called "chemist analyst laboratory assistant".
In 1977, Sergey got a job as a laboratory assistant, later a senior laboratory assistant at the NIS of the Leningrad Mechanical Institute.
In the same year, he began to attend the DOSAAF Aero Club in Leningrad.
In 1980, Sergey Konstantinovich got a job at NPO Energia as part of a pre graduate practice.
Voenmeh graduated with honors in 1981, with a degree in "Design of aircraft, and their production".
In the summer of 1981, he was an aircraft technician for the repair of aircraft and their engines at the Leningrad Aero Club.
In September 1981, he became an engineer of one of the departments of NPO Energia.
He compiled instructions for astronauts.
On June 7, 1983, after successfully passing a medical examination, Sergey Krikalev was admitted to special training, and in 1985 he began general space training.
In November 1986, he was accepted into the cosmonaut squad and officially qualified as a "test cosmonaut".
For the next two years, Sergey Krikalev is being trained as part of the Buran program.
Since 1988, he has been training for the role of an onboard engineer of the Soyuz TM 7 spacecraft.
The first flight on November 26, 1988, the Soyuz TM 7 spacecraft went to the Mir orbital complex as part of the fourth main expedition, as well as under the Aragats international Soviet French program.
In addition to Krikalev, the crew included the commander of the ship Alexander Volkov and the French cosmonaut researcher Jean Loup Chretien.
It is noteworthy that a concert of the popular band "Pink Floyd"was held at the launch of the spacecraft.
In addition, the band's album called "Delicate Sound of Thunder" was placed on board the ship and became the first rock album to be played in space.
During the stay of cosmonaut Krikalev on board the station, the crew of the 3rd and 4th expeditions conducted more than 5,000 different experiments in various scientific fields: biology, medicine, engineering and materials science.
However, the vast majority of experiments were on the topic of astronomy and astrophysics.
An extensive spectral observation of cosmic bodies was carried out, starting from the Earth's atmosphere and ending with the Small Magellanic Cloud.
On April 27, 1989, the Soyuz TM 7 lander delivered the crew of the ship to Earth.
Cosmonaut Krikalev was awarded the title of Hero of the USSR.
Since November 1990, Sergey Konstantinovich has been trained as part of the Soviet – Japanese flight program to the Mir station, and since December the Soviet British program.
The second flight On May 18, 1991, onboard engineer Sergey Krikalev, British cosmonaut researcher Helen Sharman and the commander of the Soyuz TM 12 spacecraft Anatoly Artsebarsky, went into Earth orbit.
Helen Sharman spent only a week at the Mir station, and during this time she performed several biological and chemical experiments, as well as conducted several lessons for British schoolchildren.
In addition to a number of experiments conducted by the station crew, Sergey Krikalev performed seven spacewalks from two to seven hours.
During his work outside the station, Sergey Konstantinovich, together with other cosmonauts, replaced the antenna, installed a laser reflector, a folding truss, a new engine mast, and also conducted two tests of the SOPHOR mast.
Due to limited funding, two subsequent space missions were canceled, as a result of which Sergey Krikalev stayed in orbit for six months longer than planned.
In total, cosmonaut Krikalev spent 311 days in Earth orbit.
He received the honorary title Hero of the Russian Federation.
In September 1992, Sergey Krikalev was accepted into the American crew of the Discovery STS 60 shuttle, as the first Russian cosmonaut on the shuttle.
He served as a specialist (Mission Specialist).
The third flight of the Shuttle Discovery STS 60 was launched on February 3, 1994.
The shuttle stayed in orbit for almost 8 days.
During this time, many experiments were conducted, including: simulation of small sized space objects for their detection using radars (the ODERAX program), experiments in microgravity in the Spacehab module, growing films from semiconductor material in vacuum using the WCF satellite.
During most of the experiments, Sergey Krikalev controlled a remote manipulator, which, for example, separated the WCF satellite from the shuttle.
On February 11, 1994, the shuttle successfully landed on one of the lanes of the Kennedy Center.
For the next few years, cosmonaut Krikalev was trained for the next shuttle flights at the American Johnson Center.
During four space shuttle missions, STS was the head of a group of experts in Houston on behalf of the Russian MCC.
Since May 1995, Sergey Konstantinovich has been performing the tasks of the deputy flight director of the Mir station.
Since 1996, he has been training for the role of an onboard engineer of the first expedition to the ISS.
Due to the delay of flights to the ISS, cosmonaut Krikalev in 1998 began preparing for a flight on the shuttle Endeavour STS 88.
The fourth flight On December 4, 1998, Flight 4 specialist Sergey Krikalev launches aboard the shuttle Endeavour STS 88 into Earth orbit.
The crew was faced with the task of delivering and installing the American Unity module.
The module was docked to the Russian module of the ISS "Zarya".
"Unity" became the basis for connecting the following space modules to the base of the ISS.
The module was also installed using the Canadarm robotic arm located on the Endeavour shuttle.
Shuttle commander Robert Kabanoy and Russian cosmonaut Sergey Krikalev were the first to open the ISS hatch.
On December 16, 1998, cosmonaut Krikalev, together with the crew of the shuttle "Endeavour", returned to Earth.
After completing his fourth space flight, Sergey Konstantinovich continued preparing for the flight to the ISS as part of the first main expedition.
The fifth flight On October 31, 2000, the Soyuz TM 31 spacecraft went to dock with the ISS.
The crew included commander Yuri Gidzenko, onboard engineer Sergey Krikalev and American second onboard engineer William Shepherd.
The cosmonauts unloaded and installed a large amount of scientific and technical equipment.
The task of the team was to assemble the essential equipment, as well as configure the internal computer network.
This crew was the first to have a long stay on the ISS.
After staying at the station for more than four months, the crew returned home.
For the next five years, cosmonaut Krikalev is preparing for another visit to the ISS, first on the shuttle, and after the suspension of all shuttle flights, on the Soyuz TMA 6 spacecraft.
On April 15, 2005, the commander of the Soyuz TMA 6 spacecraft, cosmonaut Krikalev, as well as onboard engineers John Phillips (USA) and Roberto Vittori (Italy) we started from Baikonur towards the ISS.
The Italian cosmonaut, representing ESA, stayed at the station for 10 days, after which he returned to Earth with the crew of the 10th expedition to the ISS.
Phillips and Krikalev made up the 11th expedition, and stayed on board the station for almost six months.
During this time, the crew received two cargo ships of the "Progress" type and the shuttle Discovery STS 114.
On August 18, 2005, Sergey Krikalev made a five hour spacewalk.
On October 3, along with the next expedition, an American space tourist, Gregory Olsen, also arrived on board the ISS.
On October 11, 2005, Olsen returned to Earth together with Krikalev and Phillips.
Sergey Krikalev became the first Russian cosmonaut to make 6 flights, as well as the record holder for the total duration of space missions – 803 days, 9 hours and 38 minutes.
In addition, he has 8 exits to the open space, with a total duration of 41 hours and 26 minutes.
After a successful career as a cosmonaut, Sergey Krikalev took up public activities.
In addition to being the president of the Federation of Gliding Sports (1999-2007), Sergey Konstantinovich was also the Secretary of the Public Chamber of the Central Federal District in February 2012.
In April 2014, he became the representative of the Governor of Sevastopol in the capital of the Russian Federation – Moscow, and in St. Petersburg.
