This day in space historyOleg Grigoryevich Makarov (Оле́г Григо́рьевич Мака́ров), Soviet cosmonaut, was born on 6 January 1933. He graduated in 1957 and started working at the Special Design Bureau Number One as an engineer, working on the Vostok spacecraft. In 1966, he was selected for cosmonaut training. His first spaceflight was Soyuz 12 in 1973. His second flight was the abortive Soyuz 18a that made an emergency landing in the Altay Mountains, 21 minutes after launch. With his third launch on Soyuz 27 he flew to space station Salyut 6 and landed five days later with the Soyuz 26 spacecraft. His last mission was Soyuz T-3, during which several repairs on Salyut 6 were done.
