He graduated from the Bulgarian Air Force Academy in 1974 and obtained a degree in technical sciences in 1983. In the Bulgarian Air Force, Aleksandrov rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.〔 Aleksandrov was selected as a Research Cosmonaut on March 1, 1978 as part of the Soviet Union's Intercosmos program. The selection featured six semifinalists, including the parachute jump record holder, Chavdar Djurov, who was killed during the selection process. Aleksandrov was selected as backup to Georgi Ivanov on the Soyuz 33 mission to the Salyut 6 space station. Subsequently, Aleksandrov was assigned to the prime crew of the Soyuz TM-5 mission to the Mir space station.〔〔 On June 7, 1988, Aleksandrov launched aboard TM-5 as a Research Cosmonaut along with mission commander Anatoly Solovyev and Viktor Savinykh. Upon arriving at Mir, Aleksandrov became the first Bulgarian to reach a Soviet space station, as the Soyuz 33 mission carrying Georgi Ivanov failed to reach the Salyut 6 space station. On June 17, Aleksandrov returned aboard Soyuz TM-4 along with his fellow crew members. He, along with his crew-mates, spent just under 10 days in space.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080704195258/http://www.astronautix.com/flights/mirep2.htm )〕 Aleksandrov later became Deputy Director of the Institute of Space Research, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.〔 Currently Aleksandrov works as a research scientist. He is married and has one child.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aleksandr Panayotov Aleksandrov」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
