Simonyi has currently in force licenses in jets and helicopters and more than 2,000 hours of flying time under his belt. He is a trained pilot in multi-engine aircraft. Before his orbital spaceflight scientific cruise, he underwent comprehensive training at Russia’s Gagarin Center.
He will spend in space 13 days and during this time on the ISS will conduct some biomedical experiments returning back to the Earth with the 14th ISS expedition.
