AFP said female astronaut Yelena Serova (36) is currently training at Star City and 'ready for flight in the second half of 2014'.
Mr. Temerov said Serova's six-month work program on the International Space Station (ISS) was a normal research program and there was no plan for her to make an out-of-space walk.
The second woman training at Star City is female astronaut Anna Kikina (28 years old). She was one of eight people recruited to participate in Russia's space program last year.
2013 is the year to celebrate 50 years of the first Soviet astronaut in the world Valentina Tereshkova traveled into space.
