Miroslaw Hermaszewski

Mirosław Hermaszewski (born September 15, 1941), is a retired Polish Air Force officer. He became the first (and to this day remains the only, except Polish-American astronauts) Pole in space when he flew aboard the Soyuz 30 spacecraft in 1978. In 1965, he graduated from the military pilot school in Dęblin. In 1978, he was chosen from almost 500 Polish pilots to take part in the Intercosmos space program. Together with Pyotr Klimuk, he spent almost eight days onboard the Salyut 6 space station (from 17:27, June 27, 1978 \\\'til 16:31, July 5). During their time in orbit, they carried out geoscience experiments and photographed the Earth. They landed 300 km west of Tselinograd. He was awarded with the Hero of the Soviet Union title for that flight.
