An early Russian cosmonaut, Khrunov was part of the crew of the first manned docking with another manned spacecraft in orbit. Aboard Soyuz 5, Khrunov and two other cosmonauts docked with Soyuz 4, manned by one cosmonaut. Khrunov and cosmonaut Aleksei Yeliseyev then spacewalked and boarded Soyuz 4, and landed safely. Khrunov died recently at age 67; the date and circumstances were not announced. From This is True for 21 May 2000 Suggestions for further reading:
 By: World Spaceflight News List Price: $23.95 Amazon Price: $23.95 Editorial Review: This up-to-date and comprehensive electronic book on two CD-ROMs presents an incredible and totally revised collection of important documents and publications about the dawn of the Space Age: the launch of Sputnik on October 4, 1957, and the subsequent pioneering efforts of the Soviet program. The world's first artificial satellite was about the size of a basketball, weighed only 183 pounds, and took about 98 minutes to orbit the Earth on its elliptical path. That launch ushered in new political, military, technological, and scientific developments. While the Sputnik launch was a single event, it marked the start of the American-Soviet space race. After the U.S. succeeded in landing the first man on the moon, cooperation between the superpowers led to the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, the Shuttle-Mir docking missions, and the International Space Station. This outstanding compilation of American and Soviet documents provides full coverage of Sputnik: background history, bibliography, biographies, chronology, documents, and coverage of the first American satellite programs, Vanguard and Explorer. In addition, there is comprehensive coverage of the Soviet space program, including extensive material about the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) and the Shuttle Mir program: 1966-1970 Soviet Space Programs, 1967 Review Of Soviet Space Program, 1971 Soviet Space Programs, 1971-1975 Soviet Space Programs, 1976-1980 Soviet Space Programs, 1981-1987 Soviet Space Programs, ASTP Apollo-Soyuz Documents, ASTP Flight Plan Crew Activity Plan, ASTP Image Collection JSC, ASTP Soviet And American Press Kits, Difficult Road To Mars Monograph, ISSSoyuz, Korolev, Lunar Soviet Missions, Mir Hardware Heritage, Mir JSC Space Station Training Manual, Mir Mission Chronicles 1994-1996, Mir Phase 1 Program Joint Report 1999, Mir Safety Memos, Phobos 1 Soviet Mars Mission, Phobos 2 Soviet Mars Mission, Radiation, Rockets And People Volume 1, RSA Liftoff, Russian Launch Vehicles, Russian Space Stations, Second and Third Satellites, Shuttle Mir Program History Sp-4225, Soviet Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Soviet Shuttle Monograph, Soviet Solid Rockets, Soviet Union Challenge to Apollo 1945-1974, Soyuz Press Conference, Sputnik History, Stratospheric Rocket, The Partnership - History Of Apollo Soyuz Test Project, USSR Designations, Venus Soviet Missions.

From the supplier: Congress felt President John F. Kennedy's 1963 effort to promote American-Russian cooperation in space was a blatant contradiction of his earlier policy. Kennedy might have been trying to reveal the differences between American and Soviet philosophies in their political, economic and social systems. The USSR conducted its space program in secret with an overt political and military nature. The open and peaceful nature of America's space policy and Kennedy's offer of collaboration may have been another form of competition. Citation Details Title: John F.
