Cosmonauts in a hydrological laboratory (Jan. 1981)
In the USSR cosmonaut training center baring the name of the first man in space, cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, a hydrological laboratory has been commissioned. Sunken in the laboratory's large water pool are models of the Salyut space station and the Soyuz spaceship, which cosmonauts simulate tasks on like in the weightlessness of space. The cosmonauts diving suits have so many weights attached, that movement and feeling is nearly equal to weightlessness.
