try "challenge to apollo" SP-4408 in the NASA histories. One of the best book on the Soviet space program.
Or this web page http://www.russianspaceweb.com/n1.html -

As Archibald noted, I posted the same link. In my defense, it was while running Android on a pc, that's far from ideal. Back on Windows now. Try these, for starters:

The links below were mentioned in previous posts here at NSF but I cannot find the old posts at the moment. Lots of great info. http://www.starbase1.co.uk/pages/n-1.html and http://thespacereview.com/article/2954/1

Sure, internet on a mobile phone is a nightmare for me, too. For those who ever saw Hotel Transylvania , I sometimes feel like Drac' - a Youtube video is worth a lot of words

At what point did the flight controls return to the OM? There have been several photo's of astronauts training at the cupola over the past few years.
The Soyuz cupola: what is its function, given that during docking, the crew remains in the descent module?
Soyuz-TM did have flight controls up until Soyuz TM-23; but they were removed as part of the mass reductions when the Soyuz-U2 became no longer available… (someone want to correct me; can’t find any references at the moment)
Soyuz LOK - the moon version had a cupola with controls.
http://www.astronautix.com/craft/soy7klok.htm
Soyuz TM-24 lost it's orbital module cupola controls and the LASER range finder.
http://www.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/content/numbers/136/01.shtmlQuoteДля облегчения корабля №73 было предложено планировать стыковку только с одного захода и отказаться от варианта ручной стыковки. Поэтому на “Союзе” сняли все средства ручного сближения, в том числе и лазерный дальномер.
Also of interest is Soyuz T-13 which did not feature Igla

http://epizodsspace.ru/bibl/savinyh/zapiski/obl.html
http://lib.rus.ec/b/147688
Also of note is a possible issue with the pressure inside Soyuz T-13?
http://epizodsspace.ru/bibl/savinyh/zapiski/03.html
And another question is what happened to the Soyuz-U2 that was being prepared for Soyuz TM-23?

Soviet space capsule question.
I watched one TV show that said that when a Soviet capsule returns from space, the cosmonauts bail out at 10,000 feet and parachute to the ground.
Is this true? -

The earliest cosmonauts bailed out of the Vostok spacecraft, yes, but that was in the early 1960's. It was a touchy point, because the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale requires that a pilot lands with the aircraft if a record is to be set.

What do they do now?

#913 by Proponent on 06 Jun, 2018 02:22

They stay in the craft as it descends under parachute. Just before touchdown -- on land -- retrorockets fire.

Is there any good footage of cosmonauts getting into the Soyuz on the launchpad? Lots of egress shots on landing, but I've never seen them get into the capsule.

IIRC there was a cameraman with the Soyuz TM-21 crew as they travelled in the lift up the launch tower and there were views of at least some of the crew members crawling into the spacecraft... I cannot find it on Youtube though...

#917 by Steve G on 07 Jun, 2018 04:15

I've searched and I've never seen a "white room" view equivalent of a crew boarding a soyuz. It must be quite the crawl entering the orbital module hatch and then a significant drop to the seats wearing the spacesuits. Does anyone know the detailed ingress process?

I asked about the lack of footage of crews entering the Soyuz when Mark Shuttleworth attended a meeting of the British Interplanetary Society. He said that there's simply not enough room for a cameraman to operate without getting into people's way.
