Soyuz 23

 1976-100A


7K-T No. 65, an 11F615A9 model, was launched on 1976 Oct 14 carrying Vyacheslav Zudov and Valeriy Rozhdestvenskiy. The craft was named Soyuz-23 once in orbit. Once again Igla gave problems, as errors in measuring the spacecraft's attitude relative to Salyut caused oscillations in the vehicle and excessive propellant consumption. The SA splashed down in Ozero Tengiz (Lake Tengiz), within the standard Arkalyk recovery zone.
