Home›Soviet Union and Russia›NationalityBrowse ByNationalityThis dimension groups astronauts by nationality. Wikipedia defines nationality as "the legal status of belonging to a particular nation," and Wikipedia notes that "astronaut" technically applies to all human space travelers regardless of nationality, even though Russian flyers are usually called cosmonauts instead. Browsing this way collects every astronaut from a single country.FactsNationalitySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonField Origin EraWell-attested1961 1NationalityFilter Results5 entriesNation / ProgramAllMir and Space Station Cosmonauts (2)Soyuz and Salyut Cosmonauts (4)Vostok and Voskhod Cosmonauts (3)AgencyAllInterkosmos (2)Roscosmos (2)Soviet space program (5)Astronaut RoleAllCommander (5)Flight Engineer (2)Mission Specialist (1)Pilot (2)Research Cosmonaut (2)Selection YearAll1960 (3)1962 (2)1963 (1)1964 (2)1965 (3)1966 (2)1967 (1)1968 (1)1970 (1)1972 (2)1976 (2)1978 (2)1980 (2)1985 (1)1989 (2)1994 (1)1997 (1)2003 (1)2006 (1)2010 (1)2012 (1)2018 (1)Number of FlightsAll1 (2)2 (3)3 (4)4 (2)5 (2)6 (1)Birth YearAll1921 (1)1925 (1)1926 (1)1927 (1)1928 (1)1929 (1)1930 (1)1931 (1)1933 (1)1934 (2)1935 (2)1937 (2)1939 (1)1941 (2)1942 (3)1944 (1)1947 (2)1948 (2)1951 (1)1957 (1)1958 (1)1959 (1)1962 (1)1970 (1)1975 (1)1976 (1)1982 (1)1983 (1)1984 (1)1990 (1)Associated WithAllInterkosmos (2)NASA (2)Roscosmos (2)Soviet space program (5)Area (sq km)All207,600 (1)451,730 (1)603,628 (1)17,075,400 (1)22,402,200 (1)Dissolution or End YearAll1991 (2)Government TypeAllRepublic (1)Income GroupAllHigh (1)Upper-Middle (2)Independence or Founding YearAll1922 (2)1991 (3)LandlockedAllNo (2)Yes (1)PopulationAll9,109,280 (1)32,283,000 (1)51,706,746 (1)142,557,000 (1)293,047,571 (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 5BelarusNationality1 entryRussiaNationality22 entriesSoviet UnionNationality32 entriesUkraineNationality1 entryUkrainian Soviet Socialist RepublicNationality1 entrySources1.
