Other sky-divers descended from the Peak 7,130 meters high on paraplanes and snowboards on their own.

The sky-divers jumped from the AN-12 aircraft from the height of 9,000 meters.

Dmitri Kiselev, a test-jumper and a stuntman who had already jumped 3,500 times was the leader of the sky-divers' team.

The team trained in the cosmonauts' training center in the Star Town (Moscow region).
