   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.06 sec.

Komarov, Vladimir (1927-1967)

Soviet cosmonaut. Selected in 1959 as one of the first cosmonauts, he flew as commander of the three-person Voskhod 1 (see Voskhod) mission in October 1964, conducting scientific and medical research. He piloted the trouble-plagued Soyuz 1 (see Soyuz) orbital flight that ended in his death in April 1967 when a parachute failed to open and it plummeted to the ground with Komarov inside.
