On March 22, one of the most famous and great Dagestanis, Musa Khiramanovich Manarov, turned 63 years old. Every person wants his son, brother, relative or fellow countryman to become famous, make some discovery, become a champion in sports, distinguish himself in work or accomplish a feat. And this is natural, because the best and most beautiful in society are always associated with the names of outstanding personalities. The strength of spirit, patriotism and courage of the people do not depend on their numbers. And if even one representative of any nation accomplishes a feat, then this nation is immortal. Dagestanis have courage in their blood, they were raised in the harsh mountains, and the hot blood of their ancestors beats in their veins. The Dagestanis have performed, are performing and will continue to perform feats at all times. Amazing peoples live in Dagestan. For them there is neither someone else's grief nor someone else's joy, their hearts seem to be fused, they know how to unite at any moment, open their hearts for friends and clench a single fist for the enemy. But when one of the sons of our republic flew into space, the Dagestanis accepted this as a special feat. The stars, so far from us, have become close to us. Musa Manarov left an autograph there for all time. His flight became the joy and pride of all Dagestanis. The small republic deserved to have its representative among the elected. And what gift did he bring to his small but great people?! To appreciate this feat, you need to know what strong qualities an astronaut must have. They choose from hundreds of the healthiest, most courageous, prepared guys. First of all, he must have gigantic willpower to prepare himself for flight. Constant training, strict boundaries that cannot be crossed. To withstand all this, you have to be iron man and love your Motherland and your people very much and, of course, have the courage that Dagestan men have. Musa Manarov multiplied and elevated this courage to the very stars.

Musa Khiramanovich Manarov was born on March 22, 1951 in Baku, in the family of a military man. Lak by nationality. He remembers practically nothing about the city of Baku, since a month later his father was transferred to another military unit. My father was a front-line soldier, an artilleryman. He graduated from the Higher Artillery Academy in Moscow and has been an example for his son since childhood. Military people do not belong to themselves, they travel all over the country and sometimes do not know where they will end up in a month or two. This was the case with the Manarov family. Due to his duty, his father moved from one military unit to another, and Musa spent his childhood “out of suitcases.” Because of this, one could give up on studying, but the guy never nodded at the difficulties of fate and endured the hardships of his father’s army service with understanding and patience.

I went to first grade in Kharkov. His childhood and youth were spent in Alatyr, at his father’s place of work. Musa studied from the 4th grade at secondary school No. 8 and graduated from the tenth grade with a gold medal.

“Now it’s difficult to remember in which cities I didn’t have to go to school,” Musa Hiramanovich recalled in a conversation with a DDD correspondent. – My studies took place in many schools between Leningrad and Moscow. And it was not only former USSR, but also Ukraine. I went to first grade in Kharkov. I completed my eight-year education there. Nobody forced me to learn Ukrainian, but I learned it on my own and passed all the exams. Even now I remember the lines of one poem, where there are the following words: “Bill of the school, on the Maidan, revolution to the idea. Hail, shepherd, usi hooted, for the otaman!” Ukrainian language melodious, but it was difficult for me to teach him. But I finished tenth grade in Chuvashia, in the town of Alatyr. This is the name of the pier on the Sura River. This city has been known since 1552.”

Since the fifth grade, he fell in love with the radio business. With my modest money I bought various radio components in stores and free time I sat up late at the table with a soldering iron in my hands. Over the years of his passion for radio engineering, he made more than one radio receiver. Of all school subjects Musa liked physics most of all. Natural science drew the future cosmonaut to class like a magnet. Who knows, maybe even then he understood that this science, which studies the simplest and at the same time the most general properties material world, will help him in the future when working in space. After all, at the intersection of physics and other natural sciences, biophysics and astrophysics, geophysics and physical chemistry arose. Apparently, even then Musa realized that physics is the foundation of all modern technology, including space technology and nuclear energy.

But he was not distinguished by great health and was often sick at school. And in order to become stronger, he forced himself to do push-ups and pull-ups on the bar.

After school, Musa entered the faculty of aircraft radio electronics at the Moscow Aviation Institute. At the institute he became involved in sports. Of course, at MAI he stopped assembling receivers, but he spent hours in the gym. He was seen playing football, basketball or hockey. I trained in boxing for two years and developed such a punch that I could hold my own in any company. In 1974 he graduated from the Moscow Aviation Institute and until 1978 worked as an engineer at NPO Energia.

The most memorable event happened in his life on December 21, 1987 - on the Soyuz TM-4 spacecraft and the Mir orbital station, flight engineer Musa Manarov was in orbit with crew commander Vladimir Titov and cosmonaut-researcher Anatoly Levchenko. Then Manarov was included in the Guinness Book of Records, because a new world record for the duration of space flights was set - 365 days 22 hours 38 minutes 58 seconds!

The expedition program was more responsible than ever. On February 26, Manarov and Titov performed a spacewalk. The “walk” took 4 hours and 25 minutes. However, by and large it’s difficult to call it a walk, because the cosmonauts mounted the experimental section on a solar battery installed by Yuri Romanenko and Alexander Laveikin. During the first outing, the panels of an outdated solar battery were replaced. The new solar battery had better energy characteristics with the same dimensions and weight. Two battery fragments are made removable. They contain new photocells made from promising various materials. The second exit was not provided for by the program. It was caused by a problem that arose during the flight. It was necessary to replace the detector unit of the Dutch X-ray telescope. Its creators did not expect a long service life. It worked well for a year, and then its performance deteriorated. Manarov had to go out into the abyss of outer space again to replace it with a new, spare one.

Later, Musa Manarov recalled: “If they asked me what new feeling I experienced outside the station, I would probably say the feeling of the abyss, the infinity of space. Our Earth is an amazingly beautiful planet, those who have been in space note this, and for us, who have been in space for a whole year, this is especially noticeable.”

- Then, from March to May, we spent considerable research papers, - said Manarov. – Regular cycles of observations of the Hercules X-ray pulsar and Swan X-ray sources were carried out. However, not everything went smoothly. So, in March, the telescope’s star sensor failed, but the problem was quickly resolved. I also remember that during the flight we studied a new X-ray star that flared up on April 26, 1988 in the constellation Vulpecula. At the same time, areas of the sky were being photographed using the Glazar ultraviolet telescope. My second spacewalk was on June 30th. On this day, Titov and I installed a special ladder and used it to move to the Kvant module. We had to replace the detector block on the X-ray telescope. But problems began. The whole problem was that we opened part of the thermal insulation and tried to remove the block. But it was not there! The bolts, which were removed so well on Earth during training, turned out to be filled with epoxy in space. As a result, the wire cutters slipped off them. After an hour and a half of such “work”, my hands seemed to become alien and did not obey. When we finally got rid of the bolts, all that was left was the “gramophone” lock for attaching the detector to the telescope. All you had to do was insert the key into it and turn it all the way. I tried to do this, but the key would turn. The worst thing happened later - the key fell off and its end remained in the lock. We were unable to open the lock, and after five hours in outer space we had to return to the station. And on July 21, Progress-37 docked with the complex, and work with it was completed on August 12.

During the entire flight, the crew went into outer space three times, and each time it was a great event for Vladimir Titov and Musa Manarov.

For the successful implementation of the flight and the courage and heroism displayed during this, pilot-cosmonaut Musa Khiramanovich Manarov was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union on December 21, 1988, with the Order of Lenin and the Gold Star medal (No. 11591).

On December 2, 1990, Musa Manarov traveled to space for the second time as a flight engineer on the Soyuz TM-11 spacecraft and the Mir orbital complex for 175 days and 2 hours. This time, its commander was Viktor Afanasyev, and the cosmonaut-researcher was Japanese journalist Toyohiro Akiyama. This was the first flight into space by a Japanese astronaut.

Once again Manarov and Afanasyev visited outer space on January 7, 1991. The whole thing lasted 5 hours 18 minutes. The astronauts managed to repair the module hatch. First, they unscrewed the bolts, replaced the bearing that had once shattered from the impact, and then the entire bracket. And on January 23, astronauts in outer space installed a cargo boom and tested it. The first “cargo” was Musa Manarov, and Viktor Afanasyev, rotating the handles, carried him back and forth. During his space flights, he performed 7 spacewalks with a total duration of 34 hours and 23 minutes.

For the first time, twelve earthlings found themselves in low-Earth orbit: G. M. Manakov, G. M. Strekalov, V. M. Afanasyev, M. Kh. Manarov (USSR), T. Akiyami (Japan), V. D. Brand, G. S. Gardner, D. A. Hoffman, D. M. Lounge, R. A. Parker, S. T. Durrance, R. E. Paris (USA).

After his second space mission, he could not walk for two months and underwent treatment for a long time. For this reason, he left the cosmonaut corps.

After flying into space, Musa developed a new hobby - tennis. On the tennis court in the cosmonaut town on Khovanka, he practiced his first strokes. He learned the basics of tennis on his own. The soldering iron and rosin seemed to fade into the background, and this time the cosmonaut sat down to the “theory of tennis,” read books, watched discs on the computer with the secrets of this ancient game. And it paid off. He annually participated in the international tennis tournament in memory of Yuri Gagarin. Most often he played with Yuri Molodchenko.

In 1990, Musa Manarov was elected people's deputy of the RSFSR from the Derbent national-territorial district, and became a member of the House of Nationalities of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR. In 1992–1995, he held the position of General Director of the MKOM company in the Smolsat holding, then was the director of the Dedicated Integrated Networks company, which was engaged in the creation of a trunking radio communication system (multi-channel walkie-talkies for close distances). In December 1995, Manarov ran for the State Duma of the second convocation from the Kedr environmental movement, but was not elected. At one time he was a member of the Presidium of the Russian Party of Workers' Self-Government. On December 2, 2007, M. Kh. Manarov was elected to the State Duma of the fifth convocation on the list of the United Russia party.

He has the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, holder of the Order of Lenin and the Gold Star medal (Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated December 21, 1988); Knight of the Order of the October Revolution (May 26, 1991). Awarded the medal “For Merit in Space Exploration” (Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 436 of April 12, 2011). Officer of the Order of the Legion of Honor (April 10, 1989, France), holder of the Order of the Sun of Liberty (DRA, 1988) and the Order of Georgiy Dimitrov (NRB, 1988). Awarded the Order of Stara Planina, 1st degree, in connection with the 15th anniversary of the second Soviet-Bulgarian flight (awarded by the President of Bulgaria on June 10, 2003). Order “For Merit to the Republic of Dagestan” (Decree of the President of the Republic of Dagestan No. 29 of March 17, 2011). He was awarded the International Icarus 1989 prize and the honorary diploma Harmon Prize (USA). He was a member of the Presidium of the Russian Party of Workers' Self-Government. He is the vice-president of the Moscow Federation of Jiu-Jitsu and Kobudo.

Musa Manarov wrote a bright, bright, courageous page in the history of Dagestan and proved to the whole world that the dignity of a people does not depend on its numbers.
