Anatoly Nikolajewitsch Berezovoi ( Russian Анатолий Николаевич Березовой ; born April 11, 1942 in Enem , Autonomous Republic of Adygeja , Russian SFSR ; † September 20, 2014 in Moscow ) was a Soviet cosmonaut .
The colonel of the Soviet Air Force completed a distance learning course at the Air Force Academy.
Cosmonaut activity
Preparation for missions not carried out
On April 27, 1970, Berezovoy was selected as a cosmonaut. He completed basic training by 1972, after which he was assigned to the space glider Spiral , which, however, was never used. At the end of 1974 he trained for a flight to the Salyut 4 space station , but switched to the training group for the Salyut 5 (Almas 3) military space station at the beginning of 1975 , where he was assigned as flight engineer Michail Lisun . Berezovoy and Lisun were support crews for Soyuz 21 and Soyuz 23 , as well as replacement crews for Soyuz 24 , after which there were no further flights to Salyut 5. Berezovoy and Lisun trained for further missions in a military space station.
From 1979 to 1981, Berezovoi was trained as a commander for the TKS spacecraft . It was much larger than the Soyuz spacecraft and was intended to be used for personnel and material transports to space stations. A flight to an Almas station could have been in January 1981, but the Almas program was canceled. Instead, flights to the DOS space stations Salyut 6 and Salyut 7 were planned. Commander Berezovoi was part of the team with flight engineers Yuri Artyuchin and Dmitri Juyukov . After the decision to launch at least one of the four TKS spacecraft unmanned, Berezovoi left the TKS group.
Flight to Salyut 7
Afterwards, Berezovoi and flight engineer Valentin Vitalievich Lebedev prepared for a flight to the Salyut 7 space station . The two formed the first crew with the mission designation Salyut 7 EO-1 . The launch with the Soyuz T-5 spacecraft took place on May 13, 1982, when Berezovoy was in command of the callsign "Elbrus". On July 30, 1982, he and Valentin Lebedev went on an external mission to recover equipment and experiments. The return to earth took place on December 10, 1982 with the Soyuz T-7 spacecraft . With 211 days in space, Berezovoy and Lebedev had set a new record.
Reserve again
From mid-1983, Berezovoi trained for a short flight to Salyut 7. He was in command of the Soyuz T-11 reserve team with flight engineer Georgi Mikhailovich Grechko and the Indian research cosmonaut Ravish Malhotra . The flight took place in April 1984 without the reserve team being used.
From September 1985, Berezovoy and other cosmonauts were trained to fly a Soyuz spacecraft alone, without the assistance of a flight engineer. In this capacity, Berezovoi became the commander of the Soyuz TM-6 reserve crew for a flight in August 1988 to the Mir space station . The doctor German Arsamasow and the Afghan science cosmonaut Mohammad Dauran Ghulam Masum would only have been passengers during the flight.
On October 31, 1992, Berezovoy resigned from the cosmonaut corps with the rank of Colonel of the Air Force for reasons of age. After that, Berezovoi held the post of Deputy President of the Russian Space Federation.
