The term cosmonaut is simply what the Russians call what we call Astronauts, people that are in space.
From Wikipedia: The word is an anglicisation of the Russian word kosmonavt (Russian: коÑмонаÌвт Russian pronunciation: [kÉ™smÉˈnaft]), which in turn derives from the Greek words kosmos (κόσμος), meaning "universe", and nautes(ναÏτης), meaning "sailor".
