'''Boris Borisovich Yegorov''' ([[Russian language|Russian]]: &#1041;&#1086;&#1088;&#1080;&#1089; &#1041;&#1086;&#1088;&#1080;&#1089;&#1086;&#1074;&#1080;&#1095; &#1045;&#1075;&#1086;&#1088;&#1086;&#1074;; [[November 26]], [[1937]], [[Moscow]] – [[September 12]], [[1994]], [[Moscow]]) was a [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] doctor-[[astronaut|cosmonaut]].

Yegorov came from a medical background, with his father a prominent heart surgeon, and his mother an ophthalmologist. He also selected medicine as a career and graduated from the [[First Moscow Medical Institute]] in [[1961]].  During the course of his studies, he had come into contact with [[Yuri Gagarin]]'s training and had become interested in space medicine.

Yegorov was selected as a member of the multi-disciplinary team that flew on [[Voskhod 1]]. It has been suggested that his father's influence within the [[Politburo]] may have had some bearing on the selection.

He eventually earned a doctorate in medicine, with his specialisation being balance. 

He was married three times and died from a heart attack.
