How much is the salary of astronauts

4hw.org: as we all know, astronauts are explorers and pioneers of the future of mankind. In addition to all kinds of high-intensity stress training, they have to face all kinds of cruel environment and risk their lives to work. Do you know how much astronauts' salary is? Let's work with the editor to uncover the bottom!

As the first earth man to enter space, Yuri Gagarin, a Soviet astronaut, won many prizes for his flight mission, such as home appliances, furniture, bedding and tableware. Now, what kind of life are Russian astronauts living? How about their income? What do they usually eat? What are the requirements for their work? Please learn about the work and life of Russian astronauts with perspective Russia!

Earth wage and space wage

Yuri & middot; Gagarin had two salaries - the same earth salary as a military pilot and the same space salary. He was paid once in space during his mission. In addition, Gagarin was rewarded for the famous flight. He got a house, a Volga car, a suit of clothes and carpet and other prizes. Valentina & middot; jeleshkova, the first female astronaut, also received a home and other feminine items, such as dresses, bags, stockings and shoes.

The tradition of paying astronauts both "earth wage" and "space wage" remains. Russian astronauts are usually senior test pilots of military and civil aircraft. The state pays $1500 to $2500 a month separately for its' earth work '. In addition, they can also receive seniority allowance, government awards and flight test subsidies. These subsidies are equivalent to 40% - 140% of their monthly wages. They also get extra pay - about $2500 a month - for missions in space.

NASA astronauts' earth salaries vary according to their skill levels, generally between $66000 and $155000 per month. Working in space costs more, but the difference is not as big as Russian astronauts. NASA astronauts earn about $170000 a month working in space.

Nutritious and balanced dishes are rich

To select astronauts, we need to check whether their psychological coordination and height meet the standards. Astronauts have always been short for a simple reason: being light means they use less energy.

The training for space entry does not take long. Astronauts are usually selected from the test pilots. They are always in good shape and need different training when flying the latest military aircraft and dealing with the overload of ejection and stunt performance.

The legendary astronaut Moussa & middot; manarov said: 'if necessary, the training of an astronaut can be completed in a few months. It mainly depends on what tasks the candidate astronauts will perform and what research will be carried out on the orbital space station '.

Russian astronauts do not need to go on a diet during training and in space. However, the flight control center attaches great importance to the astronauts' space diet. Before sending astronauts into space, the center's staff and doctors will learn about the astronauts' eating habits, make a balanced menu and send it to the chef.

The Russian Space Center has set up a factory specializing in the production of food for astronauts. Rich dishes - from traditional red soup to barbecue and pastries. In addition, there are dishes that astronauts must eat to maintain the balance of vitamins and minerals in their bodies.

In earth orbit, sunset and sunrise alternate every hour and a half. In a day and night, astronauts will see 16 changes of day and night on earth. Therefore, astronauts also live according to the time of the earth, otherwise it will lead to biological clock disorder and insomnia. There's another thing that makes astronauts happy - because of weightlessness, it's impossible to snore while sleeping in space.

Career or life episode?

Only a few astronauts will go into space many times for missions, and most people will only go into space once or twice in their lives.

The best age for astronauts is 32-38, which is considered the best age for flying. However, there are also over age astronauts entering space. For example, in 2013, Pavel & middot; Vinogradov spent his 60th birthday in space. In addition, American astronaut John Middleton Glenn was 77 years old when he last entered space.

The residence time in space is a purely technical issue. At present, the record of the largest number of days in space is set by Russian cosmonaut Valerie & middot; Polyakov, who lived on the Mir space station for 438 consecutive days.
