I From time immemorial human beings seek environmental exploration including those of its segments which are regarded as unfavourable for survival with relation to its natural features. During centuries underwater and stratospheric exploration has been implemented with the help of technical means of life-support in extreme environment. By the early XXI century means for human organism protection against unfavourable factors improved phenomenally, and human space exploration has become possible as a result. Common logic in artificial environment creation for a human as well as common principles in reliable equipment design can be evidenced throughout all this period. These principles are based on interbranch technologies adoption, implying consistency of design methods, materials selection, means to provide for long-term lifetime of a human in inhabited objects.

The paper represents the analysis of the results of the competitive selection of cosmonaut candidates held at the Yu.A. Gagarin R&T CTC in 2017-2018

Existing virtual reality (VR) technologies can be used in designing the new type simulation complexes that will allow improving quality of the technical facilities for cosmonaut training and expanding the range of modeling tasks. The paper considers the main potentials of the VirSim system and its applica-tion for space purposed simulators and simulation-modeling stands.
