Life and career

Lazutkin attended the Moscow Aviation Institute and received a mechanical engineering degree.[1] He was selected as cosmonaut on March 3, 1992. His first spaceflight was Soyuz TM-25, on which he was the flight engineer.

Lazutkin has said that Russian cosmonauts were given cognac for extended missions in space.[2]

1997 Progress supply mission

Lazutkin was aboard the Mir Space Station when a collision occurred with the unmanned Progress M34, its supply craft which was piloted by Vasily Tsibliyev while on the Mir.[3][4] The collision, which is considered the worst in the history of the space age,[4] knocked out the Spektr's solar panels and took the Mir out of its alignment with the sun, also causing it to lose power.[4] It also caused the cabin to decompress.[5]

Quick action by the three crewmen managed to stave off immediate disaster.[4] Lazutkin and fellow crewman Michael Foale quickly severed the connecting cables with the module and sealed off the hatches to the module, saving the rest of the station.[6] Lazutkin managed to successfully cut some of the wires connecting the Mir and the Spektr using a tiny dinner knife.[3] A few days after the collision, Tsibliyev and Lazutkin were ordered to attempt to repair the Mir. Foale was ordered to the Soyuz-TM escape pod.[3] The station was eventually secured safely.[4]
