Bidspirit auction | Cosmonaut O. Y. Atkov signed

Cosmonaut O. Y. Atkov signed Space Shuttle STS-51 NASA Launch FDC. In 1984, a space flight was performed on board the orbital complex Salyut-7-Soyuz-T. The crew consisted of Oleg Atkov (Cosmonaut Researcher), member Leonid Kizim (the commander), and Vladimir Solovyov (the Flight-Engineer). As the cardiologist, Atkov brought with him his own invention-a portable ultrasound cardiograph-which he would use to oversee the crew's health throughout their time in space.[5] The initiative for this team was to continue a major medical task that would advance the study of the acute stage of adaptation to weightlessness, phenomenology, and mechanisms of changes in hemodynamics, metabolism, and other functions. At the end of the Soyuz T-10 expedition, Atkov had estimated a total of 87 days spent on flight dedicated to medical work. When the three cosmonauts landed back on Earth they realized that they had become the new space endurance record holders, staying up in space over a month longer than Soyuz T-5. The crew spent a total of 236 days, 22 hours, and 49 minutes in space. Single Vendor collection of RAF Museum official covers, cosmonauts, Navy covers, FDCs. Good condition.
