Soviet-era cosmonaut Vyacheslav Zudov, who survived only Soyuz splashdown, dies [i]Soviet-era cosmonaut Vyacheslav Zudov, whose failed docking with a Russian space station ended with the first and only emergency splashdown in a Soyuz spacecraft, has died at the age of 82. Zudov's death on Wednesday (June 12) was reported by Roscosmos, Russia's federal space corporation. "[His] two-day spaceflight became, without exaggeration, dramatic," read a statement from the space agency. "The landing of 'Radon' (the call sign that the cosmonaut chose for himself) turned out to be no less dangerous."[/i]
