Artcebar biography

Anatoly Artebarsky went into outer space six times, and the main achievement in life considers his five children that the cosmonaut pilot Anatoly Artebarsky was officially recognized as the last cosmonaut, awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, he himself does not consider something special. As well as the fact that during the flight at the Mir station, he made six outputs into outer space, which became a record at that time.

And how Anatoly Pavlovich, being the first deputy chairman of the board of the People’s Charitable Fund for the preservation of the Mir space station, tried to save the most durable scientific laboratory in space from destruction, all world newspapers wrote. But he talks about this infrequently. Artcebarsky considers his five children the main achievement in life. Like, which of the astronauts has so many children?

We met with the Artcebarsky family at the Suzirya aerospace festival, which is held annually at Artek. And when he retires, how does he live? That's how much, for example, you were handed for a flight? During this time, the money depreciated several times. This is earlier for those 15 thousand rubles who paid the astronauts for the flight, you could buy two "Volga". And when I flew away, the money received was enough only to set the table for the docking in space.

To put up my colleagues Magarych for landing, I had to borrow money. Sergei Krikalev, who started with me, but returned to the ground much later, received thousands of rubles already. But still, with this money it was no longer possible to buy even one decent car. Later, astronauts began to conclude contracts. For a day of flight, they now receive orders of dollars.

Have you been informed about what is happening in the country? But we cunning - we contacted radio amateur stations. The latest news was recognized by this unofficial channel. Then, communicating with the flight control center, I had to pretend that we did not know anything about changes in the country, otherwise amateur channels would be blocked. Although we are not offended by the center’s operators, they are competent good guys.

I remember we even made fun of them. A fairly large greenhouse was built on board the station, where wheat was grown. Unfortunately, neither we nor we were able to harvest. Meanwhile, once friends handed us a huge cucumber with a cargo ship. Reporting once again before the center about the work of the greenhouse, we were seriously told: "The wheat did not grow up and does not grow, but look what kind of cucumber was she urged in space!

Sometimes I even had to refuse to eat. In the morning - coffee, fruits, for lunch, as a rule, were not interrupted, because there was a lot of work. And already in the evening they set the table, the table, the table, the table. The video was included for a friend from life, which of the applicants will fly, and the psychologists create such spatial ones that no matter what happens, there is an explanation.

In conditions of zero gravity, everything is lost if you do not hold objects in your hands - they "fly away". Thank God there are special ventilation grilles, where all losses are collected over time. There you can find a "flying" watch or toothbrush in a few days. And once we were lucky in incredibly. Before us at the Mir station, Musa Manarov lived, to whom relatives put with them a huge piece of basket.

How could he drag him into orbit? But he failed to enjoy the butcher, the basturma once “sailed”. And during our flight - unexpectedly found. We then enjoy this delicious every evening. Cut off a tiny piece. In a dream, the smells and noise that remained on Earth came to me. But you can’t imagine how incredibly it was difficult to just fall asleep, relieve fatigue. Work in the open space in our open space is called "immoral activity" - this is probably the hardest work that a person invented for himself.

Several hours of such activities, and then - trembling in the hands for two days, insomnia. The most necessary in this case is the grams of vodka and sleep. Now even cassettes with earthly smells are sent to astronauts - by order. Lilac, daily cabbage soup - anything. But if you knew what pleasure, what an inaccurate joy for us, that piece of basturma left for us became for us.

He himself made such a decision. He said: “I want! Where else could he go if he had lived in a flight garrison all his life? Although I can’t say that this is a very profitable profession now. Here, for example, in Moscow, the secretary of a private company has dollars in a month. Sometimes I remember what happened, and I think:“ Did this happen to me? At first, there was not even its own housing.

My wife Irina is my first adviser and my rear. It was she who convinced me that I had to get married, baptize the children. In space, I read the Bible, on earth somehow everything was once. I wanted to understand what this book is.But, unfortunately, I did not find there that single thread that would rally the peoples. I am absolutely sure of this. Each person himself is the creator of his fate.

Just do not disappoint in this! But I personally could not meet a single one. Last year, he specially went to Peru to Congress, where lovers of extraterrestrial civilizations gathered. I do not belong to them, but I really wanted to see their developments. You know, I got the impression that these people perceive any lights in the sky equally: “This is a UFO!

However, it could simply be a test of military equipment. Many take for the“ plates ”the worked out steps of missiles, swamp gas. When our start was removed from the station, they noticed that three flickering objects appeared behind the ship. It seemed that someone was unknown. обратном. И описала этот случай в своей книге. У них с мужем Павлом Поповичем квартира должна была быть под номером "13", так они добились разрешения, чтобы ее переписали на "а".

Как решились на такой подвиг? Знаете, в таком возрасте все по-другому воспринимается. Когда родился первый сын, мне было чуть больше двадцати. Молодой летчик: много полетов, командировок. Помню, прилетел домой, неделю с Тарасом I stayed again, I studied at the school of testers for a year, then I flew into space, I don’t remember how Taras grew, but with Sanka - everything was even offended by Ira that I was devoting little time to her.

Our middle daughter Masha was generally born at home. When my wife gave birth to Sasha, I really wanted to be present during childbirth. But it did not work. The same thing with Alees. But Masha was lucky. We just returned from somewhere by car. Ira was driving. Leaving the car, she felt bad. I rushed to call an ambulance. They began to ask for a long time: age, what a child is a child.

I look, Irke is very bad. While I ran to wash my hands, the process has already gone. And so fast!
