In 1987, after a successful tour as commander of the Gagarin Military Air-Force Academy, he was selected as a cosmonaut for training at the [[Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center]]. In December 1987 he began [[astronaut|cosmonaut]] training and was certified as a Test-Cosmonaut in June 1989. From September 1989 through September 1992, he trained for space flight as part of the test-cosmonauts group and from October 1992 to March 1994 he underwent extensive training as commander of the [[Soyuz-TM]] rescue spacecraft. He also trained as a group member for flight on board the orbital complex [[Mir]] from March 1994 to June 1995. Korzun also served as deputy Director of the 27KC crew flight training complex as crew communication supervisor from March 1994 to January 1995. |

Korzun made his first trip to space on board the [[Soyuz TM-24]] with cosmonaut [[Alexander Kaleri]], and the first French woman in space, [[Claudie Haigneré|Claudie André-Deshays]] on 17 August 1996. The Soyuz spacecraft lifted off from the [[Baikonur Cosmodrome]] at 13:18:03 UTC. After two days of solo flight, the Soyuz docked with the Mir station on 19 August at 14:50:23 UTC. Korzun and Kaleri became the 22nd resident crew, first together with NASA astronaut [[Shannon Lucid]], later with astronauts [[John Blaha]] and [[Jerry Linenger]]. On 2 March 1997 Soyuz TM-24 carrying Korzun, Kaleri and ESA astronaut [[Reinhold Ewald]] returned to Earth. The Soyuz capsule landed landing 128 km east of [[Jezkazgan]] at 06:44 UTC.
