Happy birthday, Slovakian cosmonaut Ivan Bella!


Ivan Bella, born May 25, 1964 in Brezno, Czechoslovakia (now Slovakia), is the first Slovak citizen to travel in space.  He flew aboard Soyuz TM-29 to the space station Mir.  He remained on board conducting experiments for a little over a week, and returned to Earth on Soyuz TM-28.

It was his only trip to space.
