More than two dozens of integrated and specialized simulators and trainers are used presently at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Center for training cosmonauts within the framework of "Soyuz-TM" utilization program and International Space Station.
The main simulators and trainers are:
TDK-7ST N1 and N2 integrated simulators used for training cosmonauts on "Soyuz-TM" space vehicle, its systems and hardware control in the course of the space mission program implementation in standard, off-nominal and emergency situations at all stages of the flight, as well as for mastering skills, how to follow and to handle the flight procedures;
"Don - 732" specialized simulator, which is used for a crew training on manual-mode control of the "Soyuz-TM" space vehicle and its systems in the course of approach and docking to the orbital station;
"Teleoperator" specialized simulator for mastering the approach remote-control skills, which main task is to train crews on manual control of the "Progress" cargo vehicle while doing approach, berthing and fly-around, docking to and undocking from the orbital station in the remote controlling mode in case of emergency and off-nominal situations;
Specialized simulator for training cosmonauts on the"Soyuz-TM" transport vehicle approach and docking to the long-term orbital station and for maintaining the crew skills on manual control of the transport space vehicle and its systems in the course of approach, rendezvous, fly-around, docking to/ undocking from the space complex, foreseen by the program of the flight;
"Vykhod" specialized trainer for training cosmonauts on managing the EVA-suit systems, as well as on controlling its independent and on-board systems of life-support and air -locking in standard operational use and in off-nominal situations;
A complex of training facilities of the the ISS Russian segment modules.
All the simulators and trainers, mentioned above are unique. You will never find something like that anywhere else, except at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center. All the cosmonauts, which have flown on board the "Soyuz" space vehicles - both Russian and foreign ones, including the first space tourist Dennis Tito - have passed the full training course just in these very simulators.
