A docking and crew transfer (Yevgeni
Khrunov and Aleksei
Yeliseyev) with
Soyuz 1 was
planned. The launch of
Soyuz 2 was cancelled due to heavy rain at the
cosmodrome (offical Soviet version). But it seems that the problems which
Soyuz 1
experienced in orbit (one solar panel not deploying, spacecraft not stable)
also played a major role in the decision. |
