Lisun Chronology 23 October 1965 - Cosmonaut selection. Although Kamanin desired 40 new cosmonaut-trainees, in the end only 17 were selected. They were:
28 October 1965 - Soviet Air Force Cosmonaut Training Group 3 selected.. 6 July 1976 - Soyuz 21. Assignment: Support Crew. Flight: Soyuz 21. Soyuz 21 with Volynov and Zholobov aboard hard-docked with the station on 6 July 1976 after failure of the Igla system at the last stage of rendezvous. Towards the end of the two month mission an early return to earth was requested due to the poor condition of flight engineer Zholobov (who was suffering from space sickness and psychological problems). 14 October 1976 - Soyuz 23. Assignment: Support Crew. Flight: Soyuz 23. The Soyuz 23 ferry spacecraft suffered a docking system failure. Sensors indicated an incorrect lateral velocity, causing unnecessary firing of the thrusters during rendezvous. The automatic system was turned off, but no fuel remained for a manual docking by the crew. 7 February 1977 - Soyuz 24. Assignment: Backup 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 Prime 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. Bibliography and Further Reading
