Space pioneer Leonov recalls difficult reentry from Voskhod 2
Soviet cosmonauts Alexei Leonov and Pavel Belyayev described a 17 orbit flight in Voskhod 2 ending with a rough reentry as the craft lurched during push and the return to the cabin proved harder. Tass reported the duo later returned to Baikonur and were in good health despite a forested, snowbound landing zone near Perm.
