Soviet Cosmonaut Boris Yegorov Signed Photo, PSA/DNA Slabbed MINT 9
A Soviet-era color postcard, measuring 4.125" x 5.75", No place, Ca. 1964. Signed in Cyrillic in blue ink by Voskhod I cosmonaut, Boris Yegorov. The first doctor to fly in space, Yegorov is depicted wearing civilian clothing--a pinstriped dark gray suit and blue tie. His jacket is pinned with the pentagon-shaped Pilot-Cosmonaut of the U.S.S.R. medal, and the star-shaped Hero of Soviet Union medal. With publishing information printed on the blank and unused reverse. Encapsulated and PSA/DNA graded Mint 9. Very fine. The slab measures 6.625" x 10.125".
The Voskhod I mission, launched on October 12, 1964, was manned by a 3-person crew comprised of civilians Boris Yegorov (1937-1994) and Konstantin Feoktistov (1926-2009), and ex-Air Force Command Pilot Vladimir Komarov (1927-1967). Boris Yegorov had attended First Moscow Medical Institute and specialized in balance disorders. The mission granted Yegorov the opportunity to more closely observe the effects of space on the human body in orbit and when returning to earth. Space conditions--the absence of gravity, differences in pressure, and environmental extremes--could weaken the immune system, damage eyesight, diminish bone density, stress the heart, and cause decompression sickness. Yegorov would have been especially interested to observe the causes, symptoms, and effects of what became known as "Space sickness," affecting the brain, inner ear, blood pressure, and the human response to stimuli, made astronauts feel dizzy and disoriented.
