Soyuz 33 crew: Nikolai Rukavishnikov, Georgi Ivanov

Mission patch

Soyuz 33, launched April 10, 1979, was intended to dock with Salyut 6 but an engine failure forced the mission to be aborted.  Its crew consisted of Nikolai Rukavishnikov and Bulgarian Georgi Ivanov.  They had to abort the mission before they docked with the space station and returned to Earth after almost 2 days in space.
