By March 1960, the Soviet Union had its first cosmonaut squad, which was made up of nine Air Force pilots, six Air Defense Force pilots and five Naval Aviation pilots, 20 people in total. Biomedical training of would-be cosmonauts included 10-15-day stints inside an isolation chamber, the so-called “dead room.” The candidates were also subjected to incredible stresses inside centrifuges, pressure and heat chambers.
