Alexei Leonov
description Alexei Leonov Overview
Alexei Leonov was the first human to perform a spacewalk, exiting his Voskhod 2 spacecraft in 1965. The mission was nearly fatal, as his suit ballooned in the vacuum of space, forcing him to manually vent air to re-enter the airlock. Leonov was also a talented artist who captured the beauty of space from orbit. His bravery during the first spacewalk and his contributions to the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, the first international docking mission, make him a legendary figure in the history of space exploration.
