Had the pleasure of meeting Vladimir Viktorovich on a few occasions in Moscow. Tall, slim and sophisticated cosmonaut. Friendly and academic looking. He was in that cosmonaut group of Salyut, Mir and Soyuz designers. Must have helped design Mir and Soyuz T. That first mission (Soyuz 22) testing the East German camera which became a standard feature aboard Salyut 6 and 7. Working with a demanding Bykovsky, he really had to know his stuff as a rookie. Then flying and testing the new improved Soyuz T-2 variant with Malyshev. A nail biting manual docking out of range of Kaliningrad. Which Malyshev successfully executed, much to the relief of ground control. He must have been highly regarded as he was never back up for any mission as far as we know. Condolences to his family. |
