They then progress to the CSA Advanced Training Program , and will ultimately undergo mission specialist training or International Space Station (ISS) advanced training CSA Advanced Training Program Following successful completion of the CSA Basic Training Program, astronauts embark on the CSA Advanced Training Program in preparation to enter the International Astronaut Corps at the Johnson Space Centre, in Houston, Texas. There, they train as mission specialists on the space shuttle and/or as space station operators on the International Space Station (ISS).

Encyclopedia astronaut astronaut, crew member on a U.S. manned spaceflight mission; the Soviet term is cosmonaut. Candidates for manned spaceflight are carefully screened to meet the highest physical and mental standards, and they undergo rigorous training. The early astronauts had all previously been test pilots, but later astronauts have included scientists and physicians, journalists, and politicians. As far as is possible, all conditions to be encountered in space are simulated in ground training. Astronauts are trained to function effectively in cramped quarters while wearing restrictive spacesuits; they are accelerated in giant centrifuges to test their reactions to the inertial forces experienced during liftoff; they are prepared for the physiological disorientation they will experience in space arising from weightlessness ; and they spend long periods in isolation chambers to test their psychological reactions to solitude. Using trainers and mock-ups of actual spacecraft, astronauts rehearse every maneuver from liftoff to recovery, and every conceivable malfunction and difficulty is anticipated and prepared for. In addition to flight training, astronauts are required to have thorough knowledge of all aspects of

The whole process was carried out under maximum security, with no public perception until the programme was uncovered by the Chinese government in the early 1980s. However, the manned space programme was eventually cancelled in 1975 due to lack of funds and political interest. The astronaut trainees were returned back to the original units, and most research staffs were dispatched to other programmes, with a small number of people remaining in the team to carry on the researches. China also considered the possibility of sending astronauts to space by the US space shuttle or Russian Mir space station, but finally gave up due to the expensive costs. After the manned space programme was resumed under the Project 921 in 1992, the training of astronauts was again put into agenda. In 1995, a co-operation agreement was signed between the China and Russia on the transfer of aerospace technologies to China, including the training of cosmonauts, and provision of Soyuz spacecraft capsules, life support systems and spacesuit. In 1996 two Chinese astronaut trainees, Wu Jie and Li Qinglong , began training at the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre in Russia.
