Space Adventures' Orbital Spaceflight Candidate, Greg Olsen,
Resumes Cosmonaut Training
After a medical disqualification last year
Space Adventures®, Ltd., the world's leading space experiences company,
announced today that American technology entrepreneur Gregory Olsen, Ph.D.
has resumed spaceflight training at the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training
Center in Star City, Russia.
Last year, several weeks into his cosmonaut training program, Dr. Olsen
underwent a routine medical evaluation in which a health condition was
detected that prohibited him from continuing his training at that time. The
condition has since been remedied, and, after a recent re-evaluation, Dr.
Olsen has received clearance to resume cosmonaut training in preparation for
an upcoming Soyuz flight to the International Space Station.
No further information is available.
Space Adventures, the only company which organized the spaceflights for the
world's first private space explorers, American businessman Dennis Tito and
the "First African in Space" Mark Shuttleworth, is headquartered in
Arlington, Va. with offices in Moscow and Tokyo. It offers a variety of
programs such as Zero-Gravity and MiG flights, cosmonaut training,
spaceflight qualification programs and reservations on future suborbital
spacecrafts. The company's advisory board comprises Apollo 11 moonwalker
Buzz Aldrin, shuttle astronauts Sam Durrance, Robert (Hoot) Gibson, Byron
Lichtenberg, Norm Thagard, Kathy Thornton, Pierre Thuot, Charles Walker and
Skylab astronaut Owen Garriott.
