Kozelsky Chronology 12 April 1967 - Soviet Air Force Cosmonaut Training Group 4 selected.. 1967 December - New Spiral cosmonaut team. A new cosmonaut training group for the Spiral spaceplane was established: Titov, Kizim, Kozelskiy, Lyakhov, Malyshev, Petrushenko. 7 February 1977 - Soyuz 24. Assignment: Support Crew. Flight: Soyuz 24. Soyuz 24 docked with Salyut 5 and brought repair equipment and equipment for a change of cabin atmosphere. This special apparatus was designed to allow the entire station to be vented through the EVA airlock. Because of this the planned EVA was cancelled. However analysis after arrival showed no toxins in the air. The crew changed the cabin air anyway, then returned to earth. The mission, although a short 18 days, was characterised as a busy and successful mission, accomplishing nearly as much as the earlier Soyuz 21's 50 day mission. 1977 July - Soyuz 25A (cancelled). Assignment: Proposed Backup Crew. Flight: Soyuz 25A. A Soyuz 25 mission to the Salyut 5 space station with the crew of Berzovoi and Lisun was to have followed Soyuz 24. However during the four months it took to prepare the Soyuz, Salyut 5 consumed higher than expected fuel in maintaining the station's orientation. The flight was cancelled and the spacecraft allocated for Soyuz 25 flew as Soyuz 30 to Glushko's civilian Salyut station. 1981 Beginning of - TKS-1 (cancelled). Assignment: Proposed Backup Crew. Flight: TKS-1. Planned first test manned flight of the TKS large ferry craft. Would have docked with the Almaz OPS 4 military space station. Flight cancelled with the rest of the Almaz program in 1981. The spacecraft was instead flown unmanned to Salyut 6 as Cosmos 1267. 1981 Middle of - TKS-2 (cancelled). Assignment: Proposed Prime Crew. Flight: TKS-2. Second TKS flight that would have docked with the cancelled Almaz OPS 4 military space station. The spacecraft was instead flown unmanned to Salyut 7 as Cosmos 1443.
