GEORGY T. BEREGOVOY
Signed color Russian postcard of cosmonaut Georgy T. Beregovoy.
Signatures of early cosmonauts like Beregovoy are extremely rare!
Picture post card signed: "Beregovoy" in Russian. Pencil
notations on verso in unknown hand. Color, 4¼x6½ overall, 4x6 image, one
surface. Russian post card. Ukrainian pilot Beregovoy (1921-1995) was
the pilot of the Soviet Union's Soyuz 3, launched on Oct. 26, 1968. He orbited the
Earth 64 times and came within 650 feet of the unmanned Soyuz 2. The
first Soyuz manned launch, on April 23, 1967, resulted in the death of
cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov, who was killed when his capsule's parachute failed
to open. Soviet missions ended on land, not on water as did U.S. missions.
Autographs of the early Soviet cosmonauts are becoming scarce. Lightly
toned. Lightly worn top corners. Otherwise, fine condition.
