Title
Soyuz6/7/8 Cosmonauts
Full Description
The seven cosmonauts of the Soyuz 6/7/8 mission. Sitting from
left to right are Valeriy Kubasov, Georgiy Shonin, Vladimir
Shatalov, and Alesksey Yeliseyev. Standing from left to right
are Vickor Gorbatko, Anatoliy Filipchenko, and Vladislav Volkov.
Soyuz 6/7/8 launched a mission a day through October 11-13, 1969.
The Soyuz 7 and 8 crafts planned to perform a semi-automatic
docking, but the spacecrafts never came within less than 500
meters of each other due to the failure of the automatic
rendezvous system, Igla. The Soyuz 6/7/8 crafts landed one craft
per day on October 16 to 18.
