Bio
Before cosmonaut selection, Chub studied management, informatics, and economics at South-Russian State Technical University and worked in business connected to astronautics. He was selected for the Roscosmos cosmonaut corps in 2012.
Chub launched on Soyuz MS-24 in September 2023 with Oleg Kononenko and Loral O'Hara. While O'Hara returned earlier, Chub and Kononenko remained aboard the ISS for a year and came home on Soyuz MS-25 with Tracy Caldwell Dyson in September 2024. The names should not create extra flight cards.
