RA-64045 Tu-204 Roscosmos arriving at Cologne-Bonn as ‘CPK9803’ from Chkalovsky. /DSC_1840

My highlight of the month bringing cosmonauts that flew on with N280PH, a Gulfstream 5, to Houston-Ellington (NASA I presume!). Note the appropriate 'Cosmonaut Training Center' titles.

Roscosmos is the state corporation of the Russian Federation responsible for space flights, cosmonautics programs, and aerospace research.

The plane is named 'Sergei Korolev', after the lead Soviet rocket engineer and spacecraft designer who was the driving force behind Soviet accomplishments in space exploration.
