Cosmonaut Georgy Beregovoy, born April 15, 1921, went into space only once on Soyuz 3. It was a one-man mission launched in October 1968 and he orbited Earth for almost four days.
He had been scheduled to fly Voskhod 3 in 1966 but the mission never happened.
In October 1969, Beregovoy and fellow cosmonaut Konstatin Feokistov visited Disneyland as guests of NASA, joined by Eugene Cernan, Neil Armstrong and others.
He passed away in June 1995 during heart surgery.
