event HORIZON with - The Man who fell from Space

A special thank to for his cooperation and I invite you to continue the journey by discovering his channel: @ A tribute to Vladimir Komarov who was the first man to die during a space mission on April 24, 1967 aboard Soyuz 1. Komarov knows that the spaceship has many system failures. Despite everything, he decides to carry out the mission in order to prevent his replacement and friend, Yuri Gagarin, from risking his life in his place. “The conditions are bad. Cabin parameters are normal, but the left solar panel did not deploy. The electric bus is only 13 to 14 amps. HF communications are not working. I can’t point the spacecraft towards the Sun. I tried to manually orient the spacecraft using the DO-1 orientation motors, but the remaining pressure on the DO-1 dropped to 180…“ During the 19th orbit, Komarov nevertheless managed to re-enter the atmosphere. “Here Rubin, the separation just happened...“ But the parachutes did not deploy correctly. Soyuz 1 crashed on April 24 at 3:22 a.m. in the Orenburg steppe, at a speed of about 50 m/s.
