Description
The site of the accident of the Soyuz-1 descent spacecraft in which the ship's commander, Vladimir Mikhailovich Komarov, died. The Soyuz-1 descent module crashed on April 23, 1967, while returning to Earth due to a failure of the parachute system. This was the first test flight of the Soyuz-1 spacecraft with a person on board.
Accident of the Soyuz-1 spacecraft
The commission that investigated the cause of the accident of the Soyuz-1 apparatus found that when the capsule returned to the ground, at an altitude of about 7 kilometers, the main parachute did not come out (although the pilot chute opened). A few moments later, the reserve parachute was released, but the capsule was already falling along a ballistic trajectory and was spinning strongly, so the lines of the reserve parachute were twisted and its canopy was extinguished. The impact of the capsule on the ground was very strong, comparable to the fall of a meteorite.
For his heroism, courage and bravery, Vladimir Mikhailovich was awarded the second Gold Star of the USSR medal (posthumously). Ashes of V.M. Komarov was buried in an urn near the Kremlin wall on Red Square in Moscow. According to one of the unofficial versions, at the site of the Soyuz-1 capsule accident, after the completion of the work and the departure of the official commission, specialists who continued their work found several more fragments of the cosmonaut’s body. They were not transported to Moscow, but were buried at the site of death.
Several myths are associated with the accident of the Soyuz-1 spacecraft. One of them says that a few minutes before the spacecraft collided with the earth, Komarov managed to say goodbye to his family and friends and swore on the radio. There is no and cannot be confirmation of this data, since after the capsule descends to the ground, the plasma that appears when the descent vehicle passes through the upper layers of the atmosphere dampens any radio waves. Moreover, the antennas of the Soyuz-1 capsule are located on the lines of the main parachute, but since it did not come out, there could be no radio communication.
