[FPSPACE] Any input?

[Peter Pesavento]

Bart,

 

On the NK page "Voron" says that it is from the June 1971 launching.  But
other than his word, we have no way of knowing if it really is or not.

 

It should be more accurate to say that a Russian-based researcher believes
it is from the June 1971 launching.  There is no corroborative documentation
actually pointing to that.

 

Now if "Voron" coughs up the information that will corroborate his claim
that the LK remains on the Kazakhstan steppe are indeed from the June 1971
launching, then I will be satisfied.  (As for example, he can show that the
photos are pulled from his scrapbook from that time frame, and not later
say, in 1972, or prove that it's not the 5L LK remains.  Or he shows on a
map where he found the LK remnants, and proves that it is on the specific
flight path of the 6L rocket.  Something like that.)

 

Not before.

Someone on the "Novosti Kosmonavtiki" forum has posted pictures of debris
from the 6L launch in June 1971. Among other things they show parts of an LK
lunar lander and a Blok-D upper stage. That certainly does not conflict with
the official Russian claim that the payload was L-3-related, consisting of a
mock-up LOK and LK.
