Hello people, I show you a new entry in my collection, three badges of Pilot Cosmonaut first, second and third class ..
From the little info that I have, the third class was assigned by the Commander of the Air Force for the first space flight
the second class was assigned by the Ministry of Defense of the USSR for two space flights,
and the first class was assigned by the Ministry of Defense of the USSR, for three space flights.
On June 19, 1983, Order No. 161, the Ministry of Defense of the USSR changed this provision.
The third class was assigned for the first flight in space,
the second class was assigned for three space flights,
and the first class was assigned for five space flights and for exemplary performance,
as conducting missions with particular complexity and long lasting.
