Space Adventures Statement

Space Adventures, Ltd., the world’s leading space experiences company, announced today that American technology entrepreneur Gregory Olsen, Ph.D. has resumed spaceflight training at the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City, Russia.

Last year, several weeks into his cosmonaut training program, Dr. Olsen underwent a routine medical evaluation in which a health condition was detected that prohibited him from continuing his training at that time. The condition has since been remedied, and, after a recent re-evaluation, Dr. Olsen has received clearance to resume cosmonaut training in preparation for an upcoming Soyuz flight to the International Space Station.

No further information is available.
