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: космона́вт Russian pronunciation: [kəsmɐˈnaft]), which in turn derives from the Greek words kosmos (κόσμος), meaning "universe", and nautes(ναύτης), meaning "sailor".
