Soyuz 35

 1980-027A


After the aborted EO-1 flight and the lonely EO-3 flight, Valeriy Ryumin tried again with EO-4. His commander this time was Leonid Popov. They took off aboard 7K-T 11F615A8 No. 51, which was named Soyuz-35 on reaching orbit on 1980 Apr 9. The Soviet-Hungarian crew of Valeriy Kubasov and Bertalan Farkas took over the ship in June 1980 and landed it 140 km SE of Dzezkazgan on Jun 3. The landing was the roughest ever, at 30gs, because an altimeter failure resulted in the soft-landing rockets not firing.
