Previously unidentified Soviet "specialist in space engineering" had been identified as Boris V. Rauschenbakh, corresponding member of Soviet Academy of Sciences, New York Times said. Raushenbakh, jet combustion engineer, had joined Soviet Cosmonauts Konstantin P. Feoktistov and Boris B. Yegorov in giving interviews to Soviet reporters on Salyut I-Soyuz 10 mission April 23-25 at mission control center for Salyut-Soyuz.

Normally, only former cosmonauts were identified with mission control on ground. (Shabad, NYT, 5/2/71)
