Bugrov Chronology 23 May 1966 - Energia Engineer Cosmonaut Training Group 1 selected.. 6 July 1966 - State Commission on Manned Spaceflight. Flight: Soyuz 1, Soyuz 2A, Souyz 3A, Soyuz 4A. Tyulin heads a meeting that brings the Soyuz crewing dispute into the open. The opposing crews are represented as follows:
Kamanin is furious. Mishin and Tyulin think an engineer can be trained to be a spacecraft commander in three months, without passing a flight physical, without being a qualifed pilot, without screening and training on the centrifuge or zero-G aircraft, and without parachute training. They put no value in six years of VVS experience in cosmonaut training. They give no weight to the years of general training, spaceflight experience, and ten months of Soyuz-specific training his candidates have already had. He notes that the United States trains crews for a minimum of one to two years before a flight. Kamanin says this decision will not stand. Bibliography and Further Reading
