Vitaly Sevastyanov, born July 8, 1935 in the former Soviet Union, was a veteran of two Soyuz missions.
His first flight into space was aboard Soyuz 9 as flight engineer in June 1970. His almost 18 day mission with fellow cosmonaut Andriyan Nikolayev paved the way for future Salyut missions.
His second and final trip into space was aboard Soyuz 18 as flight engineer to Salyut 4 with fellow cosmonaut Pyotr Kilmuk. They were the second and final crew aboard the space station.
He passed away in April 2010 in Moscow, Russia.
