Witali Michailowitsch Scholobow ( Russian Виталий Михайлович Жолобов , scientific transliteration Vitalij Michajlovič Žolobov ; born  June 18, 1937 in Sburjewka , Kherson Oblast , Ukrainian SSR ) is a former Soviet cosmonaut .

education

Scholobow studied at the Institute for Petroleum and Chemistry in Baku and at the Military Political Academy of the Soviet Army " Vladimir Ilyich Lenin ". After being selected as a cosmonaut, he completed his basic cosmonaut training from 1963 to 1965.

Space flights

Vitaly Scholobow started as a flight engineer on June 6, 1976 with Soyuz 21 for the Soviet military space station Salyut 5 (ALMAZ 3). There he carried out numerous earth observations as well as medical and biological experiments together with his commander Boris Wolynow . The mission was shorter than usual and seems to have various reasons. One reason was probably Scholobov's severe space sickness .

After the space flight

He was married to Tatjana I. Andrijez and had two daughters: Jelena W. (* 1962), who later married the British aspiring cosmonaut Timothy Mace, and Anastasija W. (* May 13, 1982).
