I don't care which country you are from, you have to admire all these cosmonauts and astronauts. They had great big brass ones.

Komarov died because his main parachute did not open. The exhaust parachute could not get the main one out of the container. Then they gave the order to open the reserve parachute. But he got tangled around the halyard with the exhaust parachute of the main one. Therefore, his capsule hit the ground at a speed of more than 300 km/h. The descent vehicle has several jet engines that allow it to be correctly oriented at the stage of braking in the atmosphere. These engines were powered by hydrogen peroxide at the time. From hitting the ground, the fuel tanks cracked and the peroxide caught fire. Therefore, there was a fire at the crash site and the remains of Komarov were burned. What was left of Komarov was shown to all Soviet cosmonauts, but no one left the detachment. Then Komarov's father arrived at the crash site. He collected the earth from the fall site, which was there along with the ashes of his son's body, and built a grave with his name on the fall site. Thus, cosmonaut Komarov has two graves. One in the Kremlin wall, the other in the steppe of Kazakhstan. It is a bare, almost lifeless steppe, but a year later small trees were planted around the grave. The crash site was not far from the road and for decades every truck driver took a canister of water with him to water the trees around the grave.

The main chute would not deploy because allegedly the parachute canopy was increased in size because of mission weight gain but it was too late to increase the deployment tube diameter. So the technicians forced the packed main chute into the tube using wooden mallets. Hence it would not extract. I always found the RU retro fire landings curious. clearly that allowed the chute plus capsule to have a greater vertical velocity and that meant less weight for the chute. But it looks like a single point of possible failure.

@@sharonec5419 I suspect you are getting confused between escape velocity which is about 7000 m/s for the earth's surface and terminal velocity , which depends on the body's shape and drag coefficient and the weight (not mass) of the capsule and of course the local air density (but around 1.223 kg/m3) . What's the drag coefficient of a partly opened parachute ? It's not really a solvable problem but leaving out the failed parachute drag will give an upper bound to the terminal velocity. TEF

As I recall, it was the mass of the airlock handle that was jolted when the retrorockets fired to begin reentry. Like a pretty basic door handle that's designed to work in Earth's gravity, okay to use in weightlessness but not at all suitable for shaking around or essentially being held sideways or upside down for a moment. The g-force was enough to unseal the airlock and everyone suffered rapid decompression. _Then_ the spacecraft entered the atmosphere, landed properly and there's some famous footage of ground crew opening the capsule and looking at the horror within. 😬

Unless there is evidence to the contrary, I think the reality is that he died during the descent and not "in space" and not on the ground either. When the capsule crashed into the ground at several thousand miles per hour, that certainly destroyed his body even more, but that's not when he died.

When he realized that he is on his own he managed nothing short of miracle performance to get it to earth safely. Most importantly the capsule went into spin which he managed to stabilize to astonishment of ground crew. When all was good the last piexe failed - the parachute.

Clearly a political post. The USSR was simply the continuation of the former Russian Empire merely in communist form, there is no Soviet Union without Russia. It was the basis of it. Russia (the Russian Federation) is the legally recognized successor to the USSR. Even back then the USSR was often casually referred to as "Russia" especially in the US from the 20s thru the 60s. It's not incorrect to call them Russia/Russians because virtually the entire space program and the cosmonauts themselves were from Russia proper. Denying they were Russians is just stupid and petty. This is akin to how politically left/far left governments in Latin America refer to US citizens as "North Americans" out of spite. It's just stupid.
