Soyuz TM-5 launched on this day in 1988 (June 7). It carried Anatoly Solovyov, Viktor Savinykh and Bulgaria&amp;#8217;s Aleksandr Aleksandrov to Mir.&nbsp;Aleksandrov was Bulgaria&amp;#8217;s&nbsp;second cosmonaut, but the first one to get into a space station. The first, Georgi Ivanov, was not able to dock to the Salyut 6 station in 1979.&nbsp;Bulgaria was the only country in the Interkosmos program to send more than one person into space.
