GROUND CONTROL

[what is this?]
The two cosmonauts were the flight engineer, Vitaly Sevastianov and Commander Andrian Nikolayev. On June 9, 1970 the cosmonauts had a day off and played chess with the ground crew (General Kamanian and Cosmonaut Gorbatko). This game started during orbit 141 and ended in orbit 144.
