Fictional mission / Space That Never Was / Alternate timeline
Two cosmonauts conducting a spacewalk to replace damaged piece of equipment mounted on the outer hull of the Ambition 2 spacecraft.
Ambition 2 / Mars-Phobos
In the mid 80s, international cooperation between USSR, USA, Japan and a few European countries resulted in a follow-up to successful Ambition 1 mission from a few years earlier. This time the goal was to visit and explore one of Mars moons, Phobos, in hope to find a suitable place for a permanent base on its surface, which would be built by the crew of Ambition 3, mission that would launch in late 1980s.

The Launch of the first artificial object on the orbit of Earth. It was soviet satellite Sputnik-1 (or SP-1) :)). It happened on 4.10.1957.
It was drawn for 60th anniversary of the event, in 2017.

Komarov shortly before the Soyuz-1 mission that would end his life
Leonid Kizim, 1984, Soyuz T-10
54 years ago today on March 18, the Soviet Union launched Vokshod-2 into space, with the pilot being Alexei Leonov and the commander being Pavel Belyayev. Leonov became the first man to spacewalk, that lasted for a total of 12 minutes.
Happy 92nd birthday to Vladimir Komarov!
One of my favorite cosmonauts, he was originally selected for the first cosmonauts in 1960, but would later be removed due to not being able to meet the age, height, and weight requirements. But he would contribute to the designs for Voskok and Voskhod, and his friends have been quoted of saying that he was a great friend and had a brilliant mind. Korolev himself said that if Komarov met the age, height, and weight requirements back in 1960, he would’ve undoubtedly chosen Komarov for Vostok-1.
His life was almost as short as Yuri’s, he died only a month after his 40th birthday. But he’ll always be remembered as someone who was brave, someone who tried to save their friend from dying. We will never forget the things Komarov accomplished during his short lived life. ❤️❤️

Happy 85th birthday to Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space!
Personally one of my favorite historical figures, Yuri was the reason why I became so interested in the Space Race/the history of space exploration. He was a down to earth and caring person, and befriended almost everyone he met. His spaceflight was the start of a new era for science and technology, and he’ll always be remembered for that. Although he died at the age of only 34, his legacy still lives on over 50 years after his spaceflight, and his legacy will continue to live on. ❤️❤️❤️
On July 25, 1984, Svetlana Savitskaya became the first woman to spacewalk. She flew two space flights: Soyuz T-5/Soyuz T-7 and Soyuz T-12. It was during Soyuz T-12 that she did a spacewalk. Cosmonaut Vladimir Dzhanibekov and her conducted an EVA outside on the Salyut-7 space station, and they spent over 3 hours outside the spacecraft. Happy Internaitonal Women’s Day!
Happy 82nd birthday to the first woman in space, Valentina Tereshkova! С днём рождения !
Cosmonaut Yegeny Khrunov, backup pilot for Voskhod-2 (1965)
A young Yuri Gagarin
Also, a happy 75th birthday to cosmonaut/flight engineer Alexander Serebrov. He held the record for the most number of spacewalks, 10, until cosmonaut Anatoly Solovyev beat his number with a total of 16 spacewalks. Serebrov contributed to the deigns for the Salyut-6, Salyut-7, and Mir space stations, and a “space motorcycle” named Icarus. He was quite the man!
Cosmonauts Alexei Leonov and Pavel Belyayev training for Voskhod-2
Boris Yegorov, the first physician in space, who flew on Voskhod-1 with cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov and Konstantin Feokistov in 1964.
Voskhod-1 was also the first spaceflight to have more than one man in a spacecraft at a time
A cosmonaut who recently became a favorite of mine’s, Boris Volynov! One of the few remaining members of air force group 1 who are still alive, and also the first Jew in space!
Boris Volynov and Vladimir Komarov were the two possible captain choices for Voskhod-1 in 1965, and the final decision was Komarov as captain. He was also scheduled to fly on Voskhod-3 2 years later, but the flight was cancelled after Sergei Korolev’s death and the Voskhod program was terminated completely. It wasn’t until 1969, when Volynov was finally able to fly to space for the first time on Soyuz-5, making him the first Jew in space
