They celebrates the mission Voskhod 1, that was the seventh crewed Soviet space fligh, being the first space flight to carry more than one crewman into orbit, the first flight without the use of spacesuits, and the first to carry either an engineer or a physician into outer space. Vladimir Komarov, Konstantin Feoktistov and Boris Yegorov were the cosmonauts   |
