sevv eral times tobrtag the craft downearller but were unable to do so The official declined to say whether intercepted messagcs or tracking data provided the information He declined to speculate as to whether Illness or death of the cosmonaut in or bit or mere malfunction of equipment may have resulted in decision to cad the mis sioa It was believed by some ex ports that the Soyuz was threeman vehicle and that the Russians had planned to send another spacewadt aloft for rendezvous and possible crew member transfer had all gone well The setback in the Soviet space program with tlladeaih nf
