Michail Wladislavowitsch "Mischa" Tjurin ( Russian Михаил Владиславович Тюрин , scientific transliteration Michail Vladislavovič Tjurin ; born March 2, 1960 in Kolomna , Russian SFSR ) is a former Russian cosmonaut .

Tyurin graduated from the Moscow State Aviation Institute in 1984 , where he specialized in the creation of mathematical models, with an engineering degree as an aircraft mechanic. The Russian space company RKK Energija then employed him as an engineer in the field of cosmonaut training. There he was tasked with making the training for processes in the Soyuz spacecraft more efficient. He also worked on computer programs.

Cosmonaut activity

In April 1994 Tyurin was selected for the cosmonaut corps. For the next three years he completed basic training in “Star City” and was then set up for his first space flight: from the summer of 1997 he trained as a flight engineer for the reserve crew of Expedition 1 on the International Space Station (ISS) and then for the flight crew of the next but one long-term crew.

Together with Frank Culbertson and Wladimir Deschurow , Tyurin formed ISS Expedition 3 , which started for the space station in August 2001. The space shuttle mission STS-105 acted as a feeder and brought the detached ISS Expedition 2 back to Earth on its return flight . Culbertson, Tyurin and Deschurow worked on the ISS for four months and were picked up by STS-108 .

From December 2003, Tyurin was preparing for future long-term crews on the space station. Initially in the "second row" as a member of replacement crews (commander of ISS expedition 11 , flight engineer of ISS expedition 12 ), he was finally selected for the main crew of the 14th regular crew.

Tyurin was the flight engineer of ISS Expedition 14 , which took off on September 18, 2006 with Soyuz TMA-9 and landed on April 21, 2007.

On November 7, 2013, he took off for his third space flight as commander of the Soyuz TMA-11M . As a member of ISS Expeditions 38 and 39 , he worked as a flight engineer on the ISS from November 2013 to May 2014 .

In January 2016 he left the cosmaut team.
