Days before the final launch, 203 design faults were also said to have been found by engineers in the pre-flight checks.Love Island sign up gorgeous Welsh model for new series and ex-Islander is a fan Richard Holligham, a journalist and space expert, told the BBC: "Komarov knew when he left the ground that the spacecraft had quality control issues but straight away once he got into orbit things were failing.Navigational systems on board had also failed.
The lines had become tangled during the re-entry process, says the controversial 2011 book titled "Starman, The Truth Behind the Legend of Yuri Gagarin". On January 28, seven astronauts tragically died when their Challenger rocket exploded in the sky just 73 seconds into the flight. Commander Rick Husband, pilot Willie McCool, mission specialists Kalpana Chawla, Laurel Clark, Michael Anderson, David Brown and payload specialist Ilan Ramon all lost their lives.
The fatal accident was caused by a faulty valve seal on the spacecraft that burst open during its separation from the service module. Several cosmonauts have since come out and admitted Komarov only agreed to fly the faulty Soyuz in order to protect Gagarin.
