Nesterov et al.), NASA (Michael Surber), ESA (Rene Pischel), National Space Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan (T.A. Musabaev), a detailed analysis of the modern state of theory and practice of the space research was given and plan of the aerospace branch development in various countries for the nearest future and in the long term was discussed. The plenary lecture on behalf of Gagarin Cosmonaut Center “Current issues of cosmonauts’ professional activity (selection, preparation, space flight, post-flight rehabilitation)” (S.K. Krikalev et al.) highlighted issues that were named in the title and gave rise to the work of the 21st section and the panel discussion on the same topic.

V.P. Savinykh and V.A.
