Moscow up a dummies with recorded messages were orbited into space one space capsule was lost irrevocably and several rockets blew up on the launching pad before Yuri Gagarin finally made his. Epic making flight 30 years ago a Veteran cosmonaut says in a new publication. Georgi Grechko a Veteran of three flights revealed some of the untold tales of the soviet space program in the february Issue of a completely secret a in an Effort to counter rumours that another cosmonaut preceded Gagarin into space and returned dead. Grechko 60, said he himself monitored All the Early manned flights As an assistant of the famed a chief designer \ Sergei Korolyov and can verify that Gagarin indeed became the worlds first cosmonaut on april 12, a 1961, from Bai Konur cosm drome in desolate Central Asia. A a a a -. But Grechko said a possible explanation about a How. These legends were born were the Dummy flights of a Ivan Ivanovich a a play on the most common russian name Ivan. A before Gagarin a flight we repeatedly sent aloft spaceships he said. Quot at first they were empty then with dogs aboard and an ancient tradition of aviation capsules were launched with a Ivan Ivanovich a a Dummy to whom transmitters were attached. Quot there were times when the ship landed with a Ivan. Ivanovich a and the native inhabitants first found him. Is it surprising that having seen a Dummy in the capsule that they took it for a dead human. Especially since they were looking at a a Many in a spacesuit. A a there you have an explanation of How rumours a i geared about a Man in space a and even More so one that died. A a we realized this and finally attached a tag on the spacesuit a Ivan Ivanovich a a although the flight of dog a Alai Kay was announced to the world the missions with the dummies were a new twist in recent revelations about the space program that was once so secret that the a chief designer a Korolev was never identified in his lifetime. Korolev himself one of the greatest rocket designers in history emerged from Josef Stalin a labor Camps to head the Effort to beat the United states into space. Grechko said that the Dummy flights and the empty capsule trips also had tape recorded messages to verify two Way communication and these May have led to rumours about a pre Gagarin cosmonaut seeking help in a supposedly out of control Craft a these recorded messages were in the form of a set combination of letters and numbers and it is easy to assume that Ham radio listeners took it for beseeching hey a Grechko said. He also said that one capsule careened off into space forever and several rockets blew up in flights proceeding the Gagarin Mission. Finally revealing that Gagarin catapulted out of the capsule and did not land inside it alter his one orbit trip he asked Why it was necessary to continue with the. Lie that he soft landed. There was no capacity to soft land at the time a a he said. Grechko a revelations were part of an unusual dialogue in the newspaper Quot completely secret a which in an earlier Issue had published excerpts from american aerospace Engineer James Oberges Book Quot uncovering soviet disasters.�?�.
