In January Brightman began training at the Russian Cosmonaut Training Center. J. Gagarin, popularly known as “the Star Miasteczko”. Training was to prepare her to travel on board a Russian Soyuz ship and the ten day stay at the orbital station.

Brightman was supposed to be the eighth passenger who would visit the orbital station. The first was Denis Tito, who made his trip in 2001.
