The This was the first time that a spacecraft carried more than one person into orbit, with three cosmonauts packed inside the spacecraft. Only two cosmonauts were originally supposed to fly on this mission, but Soviet politicians pressured the space program to add one more. This left no room for spacesuits on board, so this also became the first spaceflight without spacesuits. Two of the crewmembers, an engineer and a doctor, became the first civilians to go to space.\n
