| | Leonov, Alexei Archipovich (1934-) |
 | | Leonov graduated with honors from Chuguyev Higher Air Force School in 1957, then joined the Soviet Air Force as a fighter pilot before being selected as one of the original group of 20 cosmonauts on Mar. 7, 1960. |
 | | As a result, the flight that Leonov had been reassigned to, Soyuz 12a, was canceled. |
 | | While in orbit, he made sketches, including one of the American astronaut Thomas Stafford, using a set of colored pencils attached to his wrist with a makeshift bracelet. |
