1-19 June 1970: Soyuz 9 lifted off from the Kazakh S.S.R.'s Baikonur Cosmodrome, carrying Cdr. Andriyan Nikolayev & Flight Engineer Vitaly Sevastyanov aboard a Soyuz 7K-OK capsule atop a Soyuz rocket; they set a new endurance record for manned spaceflight, but suffered far more adverse physical effects upon landing back on Earth than American astronauts, being unable to walk for days.
