The Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre (CTC) has formed a large-scale program of participation in the International Aviation and Space Salon. In particular, the L-39 training aircraft, the AS-350B3E Eurocopter and the IL-76MDK Laboratory aircraft, which will host an exposition dedicated to special types of cosmonaut training, will be demonstrated.
The IL-76MDK laboratory aircraft will appear before the visitors of the exhibition as a showroom, where the “Orlan” and “Falcon KV-2” spacesuits, a model of the exit hatch and the astronaut portable emergency kit will be shown. Video monitors placed inside the cockpit will be used to broadcast video clips about cosmonaut training programs, work at the international space station and in outer space. The static exhibition will feature a tent with theoretical and practical classes on Sokol KV-2 spacesuits. Visitors will be able to get acquainted with their design, try on the spacesuit and take a photo.

There will also be a presentation of the open enrollment in the cosmonaut squad and interactive psychological testing of applicants, after which one can get a report on testing results.
