I have had the honour to meet with Porvatkin in Star City on a couple of occasions. He was a modest man who sadly missed out on a flight as the Almaz program was reduced and cancelled. The story of men like him has been lost but I hope we will in the future to record his contribution to the Soviet program.He will be buried next to his wife in Star City. Like many in the Soviet program a career not completed without a flight. Rest in Peace.

These cosmonaut passings aren't any easier to take than our own American hero's passings.. |
