A woman who has set herself the goal of becoming an astronaut is obliged to be as professional as men in nothing, while remaining a good hostess, a loving wife and a sensitive mother.
This opinion was expressed in an interview with the special correspondent of RIA Novosti Alexander Kovalev by the only representative of the fair sex in the current squad of cosmonauts of Roscosmos, Elena Serova.
A woman who has set herself the goal of becoming an astronaut is obliged to be as professional as men in nothing, while remaining a good hostess, a loving wife and a sensitive mother.
This opinion was expressed in an interview with the special correspondent of RIA Novosti Alexander Kovalev by the only representative of the fair sex in the current squad of cosmonauts of Roscosmos, Elena Serova.
Its first flight to the International Space Station (ISS) is scheduled for September 2014.
- Your flight is planned for the second half of 2014 together with Dmitry Kondratiev.
Is the main crew officially included in the program, and will there be any changes, in your opinion?
- By the decision of the interdepartmental commission, on December 15, 2011, I was appointed a flight engineer to the main crew of the Soyuz TMA spacecraft, whose launch under the ISS 41/42 (ISS 40S) program is scheduled for September 2014.
And on December 21, 2011, the head of the Federal Space Agency, Vladimir Alexandrovich Popovkin, officially announced my appointment to this crew.

- Is there currently a problem of discrimination in decision making against female astronauts by male managers, or is it far fetched?
- At this stage of my training, I have been approved for the crew, while some of my male colleagues are still waiting for their "finest hour".
This can hardly be called discrimination.
Rather, on the contrary , this indicates the modern views of the leadership on the participation of women specialists for the effective solution of professional tasks.
As for me, I can say the following: the burden on a woman is incredible, since she must be both a professional at work, and a good hostess, wife, mother.
However, this should not affect the professional qualities.
- Do you have a chance to fly to the station later with your husband, cosmonaut Mark Serov?
Do you want this, or do you have enough of it at home?
- I think that I have no right to discuss such topics.
An expedition to the ISS is not a fun, romantic walk, but a difficult and, once again, a responsible task.
I love and respect my husband very much.
He is a highly qualified specialist, an interesting personality, as well as a loving and caring father and husband, whom you can always rely on.
- And how does your husband look at your six month flight with another man?
- As if on a big business trip with a work colleague.
- Why do you personally need a space flight?
What are your priorities?
- This is my job and my professional choice.
Among the priority tasks, it is necessary to note the successful implementation of the program and the improvement of their professional level.
- Are the details of the upcoming flight program known?
What experiments would you highlight that are interesting for you personally?
- Now the program of flight and experiments is at the stage of formation and detailing.
I am interested in all areas of scientific experiments conducted on board the ISS.
Among them, for example, "Biotrek" (space biotechnology) - the study of the correlation between changes in genetic properties, productivity of recombinant strains in microgravity and the impact of heavy charged particles of cosmic radiation on them.
"Molniya gamma" (direction geophysics and near Earth outer space) - the study of atmospheric gamma ray flashes and optical radiation in conditions of thunderstorm activity, as well as a number of other experiments.
- Do you have to work in outer space?
- I have not been officially informed about this, but all cosmonauts are required to undergo training in standard operations of VCD (extravehicular activity).
- How do you feel, knowing that you will be able to fly into orbit after a long male hegemony of Russian cosmonauts?
- A great responsibility.
- How do you plan to manage in orbit without cosmetics and items that are necessary for a woman?
- As far as I know, a limited number of personal items are allowed on board, so I donot see any special problems about this.
- Now there are various means of communication with the Earth on the ISS.
If they didnot exist, and you didnot know what was wrong with your daughter and husband for six months, would you agree to the flight?
- Yes, because I love them immensely and trust them.
- How will you adjust to a six month separation from your family?
- I will be setting up for a six month job (smiles).
But seriously, as I have already mentioned, there are now several ways to communicate with your loved ones as part of the psychological support of the ISS crews.
Weekly video conferences and the possibility of communicating by phone allow astronauts to experience less acutely the lack of communication with their relatives.
- Who will your daughter, who will be 11 years old during the flight, stay with during the flight?
Do you think she will be proud to say at school that her mother is now on the International Space Station?
- I will not disclose all the "appearances" and "passwords".
My daughter has a father, as well as grandparents.
It is also necessary to mention the possibility of daily cellular communication with your family, which will allow you to be aware of all events, including the success of your daughter at school.
She understands that studying at school is her "job" and that a mother in orbit will also be proud of her daughter.
- A wonderful spring holiday is approaching on March 8.
How are you planning to celebrate?
- In the circle of my family, among my relatives and people close to me.
I am more than sure that all men in Russia will congratulate their colleagues, their wives, daughters and mothers on this wonderful spring holiday.
- What would be the most desirable gift for you on March 8?
- Let it remain my little secret.
- What would you wish to the women applicants who have applied within the framework of the new Roscosmos recruitment?
- I would like to wish all applicants for the title of "candidate for cosmonauts" a successful and successful completion of the selection stage for the squadron.
