collectSPACE Interkosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Aleksandrov, second Bulgarian in space, dies at 74Aleksandr Aleksandrov, the second Bulgarian to fly into space and the first to live on a space station, has died at the age of 74. Prime Minister Rumen Radev of Bulgaria issued a statement mourning the death of Aleksandrov on Friday (July 10). "Major-General Aleksandrov belongs to that generation of Bulgarian officers for whom the duty to the Homeland, professional craftsmanship and the pursuit of knowledge and development were of high value. His flight into space in 1988 was not only an extraordinary achievement in his personal professional path, but also a historic moment for Bulgaria that affirmed the authority of our country among the countries with contribution to space exploration," Radev wrote.  |
