Description
Three rare Soviet Russian Cosmonauts signed 6×4 photocard…. Vladimir Komarov (16 March 1927 – 24 April 1967) was a Soviet test pilot, aerospace engineer, and cosmonaut. In October 1964, he commanded Voskhod 1, the first spaceflight to carry more than one crew member. He became the first Soviet cosmonaut to fly in space twice when he was selected as the solo pilot of Soyuz 1, its first crewed test flight. A parachute failure caused his Soyuz capsule to crash into the ground after re-entry on 24 April 1967, making him the first human to die in a space flight, also signed by Vokshod 1 pilot Konstantin Feoktistov (1926-2009) and Boris Yegorov (1937-1994), the first Soviet Physician to fly into Space.
