The need for parachute training became clear from the very beginning of the space age.
The first Russian space explorers returned from a parachute flight, ejecting at an altitude of 7 kilometers.
Today, the ability to control a parachute for astronauts is still not only a mandatory subject of training, but also a psychological test for the correctness of decision-making in extreme conditions.
When there are several people in the sky, it is already a crew that must safely do the job.
Elements of group acrobatics are mandatory for astronauts, approaching a person in the sky is almost like docking spacecraft.
