The Kosmonavt Vladimir Komarov ( English spelling from Russian Космонавт Владимир Комаров , German cosmonaut Wladimir Komarow ) was a Soviet ship for satellite positioning and control , which was named after the Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov , who died while flying Soyuz 1 .

The ship was built in 1967 in Kherson as the Genichesk cargo ship of the Poltava class and soon afterwards in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg) converted into a track tracking ship of the Projekt 1917 type and renamed Kosmonavt Vladimir Komarov . His home port was Odessa . Even before the collapse of the Soviet Union , it was moved to Leningrad in 1989 to be converted into a polar research ship.

The ship was the first ship from the fleet of Soviet communication ships, such as the Kosmonavt Yuriy Gagarin , Kosmonavt Viktor Patsaev and the Akademik Sergey Korolyov and was used for communication with manned and unmanned spacecraft when they were not over the territory of the USSR. The use of the joint flight of Soyuz 6 , 7 and 8 became known .
