Vitali Mikhailovich Zholobov (born June 18, 1937 in Zburjevka, Ukrainian SSR) was a Soviet cosmonaut who flew on Soyuz 21 space flight as the flight engineer. Zholobov joined the space program from the Soviet Air Force, he held the rank of Colonel-engineer. His only trip to space involved a two-month stay on the Salyut 5 space station, during which Zholobov developed terrible space-sickness. Due to this, and perhaps other reasons, the mission had to be cut short. He was in orbit from June 6, 1976 to August 24, 1976. Although he never flew again, Zholobov stayed in the space program until 1981 when he resigned to become director of a geological science research group.
