Training began on the actions after landing the descent vehicle of the Soyuz spacecraft on the water surface.

During the training, two types of training are performed: “long” and “short”. “Long” training – the descent vehicle is on the water and we need to change clothes inside the descent capsule from the Sokol spacesuit into flight and heat-shielding suits, then the Trout overalls and evacuate from the ship.

We leave the capsule after changing clothes, taking with us a portable emergency stock. Then we work out the interaction with the search and rescue service, give light signals and evacuate aboard the rescuers.

A “short” training consists in time limits for the actions performed, in connection with the detection of a hypothetical “leak” in the descent apparatus through which water enters.
