Bert Vis advises that cosmonaut-researcher Valeriy Yuriyevich Sharov passed away on 26 November 2014. One of several journalists chosen to prepare for a Soyuz mission, he was selected in May 1990, commenced his cosmonaut training in October and graduated in January 1992. However, due to the collapse of the Soviet regime he would leave the cosmonaut detachment soon after, without ever being selected to make a space flight. He did apparently write a book about his experiences as a cosmonaut trainee, but it is not known if this was ever published. |

More sad news. I was lucky enough to meet him on a trip to Moscow. A highly educated man who spoke good English. He did indeed write a book about his training experience "Invitation to Space". My deepest sympathy to his family. |
