Astronaut

= **Astronaut** =

An astronaut is a person who goes through a very harsh training program. The training program would teach them how to repair different satellites, how gravity would change in space and teach them how to fly the space shuttle. Astronauts need to make sure they can travel to space without any mishaps.

Over 5,000 astronauts have traveled to the different moons, planets and asteroids of our great solar system.

The longest space travel from any astronaut on the world through various missions is 418 days. Dr.Valeri Polyakov was the cosmonaut who did it. A cosmonaut is a Russian astronaut.
