Talk:Soyuz 1

An event in this article is a April 24 selected anniversary (may be in HTML comment)

Komorov cursing

The link cited in the text says nothing about Komorov cursing anyone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Furius (talk • contribs)

Yes it does: [1]

Stories prevalent among those who worked at US listening posts in Turkey said that Komarov was infuriated by the balky spacecraft, and went out cursing those who had sent him in such an unready piece of equipment.

Confusion in the second para

I think the article needs clean up in the second paragraph.

"Mission planners originally intended to launch a second Soyuz 2 into orbit on the next day carrying three cosmonauts - Valery Fyodorovich Bykovsky, Yevgeny Vassilyevich Khrunov, and Aleksei Stanislavovich Yeliseyev - and two of those were planned to do an EVA to Soyuz 1. Shortly after launch, problems began when one solar panel failed to unfold, leading to a shortage of power for the spacecraft's systems. Also, problems with the orientation detectors complicated maneuvering the craft. The crew on the second Soyuz prepared to fix the solar panel of Soyuz 1, but heavy rain at Baikonur made the launch impossible."

I would suggest following paragraph with the kind of permission of the author:

" Shortly after launch of Soyuz 1, problems began when one solar panel failed to unfold, leading to a shortage of power for the spacecraft's systems. Also, problems with the orientation detectors complicated maneuvering the craft. Mission planners intended to launch another craft, Soyuz 2, into orbit on the next day carrying three cosmonauts - Valery Fyodorovich Bykovsky, Yevgeny Vassilyevich Khrunov, and Aleksei Stanislavovich Yeliseyev - and two of those were planned to do an EVA to Soyuz 1. The crew on the second Soyuz prepared to fix the solar panel of Soyuz 1. But heavy rain at Baikonur made the launch of Soyuz 2 impossible."
