Vladimir Komarov Death Picture
Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov, a pivotal figure in space exploration history, tragically died on April 24, 1967, during the Soyuz 1 mission. Komarov was a test pilot and aerospace engineer before becoming the first cosmonaut to fly into space twice. His death marked a significant moment in the space race era and underscored the risks associated with early space exploration. Soyuz 1, plagued with technical issues, was launched on April 23, 1967, with Komarov as the sole crew member. The mission faced numerous problems right from the start, including failures in the solar panels, control systems, and guidance equipment. Despite these challenges, Komarov managed to maintain some level of control over the spacecraft. The decision to abort the mission was made, and Komarov began his re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. However, the spacecraft's parachute failed to deploy properly, causing the Soyuz 1 to crash at high speed into the Earth's surface. Komarov was killed instantly upon impact, making him the first human to die during a space mission.

Re: Vladimir Komarov Death Picture
When he was out in the space, he took farewell with his wife, so they knew that the risks where high, nothing seemed to work in the spacecraft.

Re: Vladimir Komarov Death Picture
One of the creepiest - and saddest - photos ever. Must have weighed on Gagarin's mind something awful until the day he died. |
