The unflown cosmonaut Boris Andreyev passed away on July 9, 2021. Andreyev was selected as a Soviet cosmonaut in March 1972. Although he never flew into space, he served as a backup crew member on the Soyuz 16, Soyuz 32, Soyuz 35, and Soyuz T-4 missions. He retired from the space program in September 1983 for medical reasons following a parachuting incident. He then worked in the flight control center as capsule communicator. |

Had the chance to meet him in Moscow in 2009. Had to go to Energia/Korolyov, where he still worked. Nice man, quietly spoken and very modest. Tough being back up 4 times without a space flight. Condolences to his family. |
