Soyuz 10

  1971-034A


The first 7K-T transport spaceship, 11F615A8 No. 31, was launched on 1971 Apr 22 and named Soyuz-10. Crew was Vladimir Shatalov (Komandir), Aleksey Yeliseev (Bortinzhener) and Nikolai Rukavishnikov (Inzhener-ispitatel'). Soyuz-10 completed its rendezvous and docking with the DOS 1 (Salyut) space station, but after soft dock the DPO engines continued firing, damaging the docking system and preventing a hard dock. The mission was aborted and after one failed undocking attempt the craft separated at 0717 UTC on Apr 24 and returned to Earth later that day.
