Soviet-era cosmonaut Aleksei Boroday, who was selected in 1979 to join the corps, died on Aug. 10, 2024. He was 77. In 1996, Boroday lost both of his legs in the crash landing of an Antonov An-124 aircraft in Turin, Italy. He subsequently he learned to walk again using prosthetics. From Russian space enthusiast Katya Pavlushchenko (via X): Alexey Sergeevich Boroday, Soviet and Russian test cosmonaut, and the test pilot of Buran Analog BTS-02 aka OK-GLI, passed away on August 14 at the age of 77. He performed six flights on OK-GLI, and was the last one of the group of Buran test pilots. Ad Astra!

A very unassuming, but great cosmonaut and test-pilot. Walked around Star city with prosthetic legs after his accident. His dangerous job had been to bring back to base for repair, malfunctioning or damaged aircraft, when he had the crash. The picture above shows him with his late Buran colleague pilot Ivan Bachurin with whom he had flown six test flights. Sincerest condolences to his family. |
