Oleg Yur'yevich At'kov (Russian: Оле́г Ю́рьевич Атько́в; born 9 May 1949) is a Russian cardiologist and former Soviet Cosmonaut. With a doctorate from the Russian Academy of Medical Science, Atkov was chosen to be the health specialist on board Soyuz T-10 and Soyuz T-11. After Atkov's short time in space, he returned to work at the Myasnikov Institute of Clinical Cardiology to continue his research on adaptation of weightlessness and cardiology. With his published research and time in space, Atkov holds two of the USSR's highest honors; The Order of Lenin, and the Title of Hero of the Soviet Union. Atkov currently serves as the vice president of Russian Railways and is a professor of medicine at the Russian National Research Medical University.

Education / Early Career
Oleg Yur'yevich Atkov was born May 9th, 1949 in Khvorostyanka, the former USSR. (1) In 1973, Atkov graduated from I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University. After that, he worked on postgraduate training and received from the Russian Academy of Medical sciences his doctorate in cardiology. (2, 3) After recieving his doctorate, Atkov started as a research fellow at the Myasnikov Institute of Clinical Cardiology of the Academy of Sciences and soon became the senior research fellow. He gained some fame in his field when he discovered a method to diagnose cardiovascular diseases using ultrasound. (2)

Cosmonaut Career / Research
In 1977 Oleg Atkov joined the training group of the Soviet cosmonauts. On September 3rd, 1983 Oleg Atkov was selected apart of the AMN selection group along with Ural N. Sultanov and Magomed O. Tolboyev. On February 8th, 1984 Atkov made a spaceward flight as a cosmonaut-researcher at the spaceship "Soyuz T-10V". (5

In 1984, a 237-day space flight was performed on board the orbital complex Salyut-7-Soyuz-T. The crew consisted of not only Oleg Yu. Atkov (Cosmonaut Researcher), but also member Leonid D Kizim (the commander) and Vladimnir A. Solovyov (the Flight-Engineer). The initiative for this team was to continue a major medical task that would advance the study of the acute stage of adaptation to weightlessness, phenomenology, and mechanisms of changes in hemodynamics, metabolism, and other functions.

While in flight, measurements were consecutively taken on echocardiographic and biochemical; In addition studies were conducted on vestibular and sensory. “The countermeasures included regular exercises on a treadmill and bicycle ergometer, use of G-suits and lower body negative pressure (LBNP) training at the final stage. The cosmonauts exercised for an hour twice a day for 3 days on end and then had an "active rest" day. On the recovery day the cosmonauts were recommended to take water-salt supplements according to the following protocol: 2.7 g NaCl in 300 ml liquid during lunch and dinner plus 1.8 g NaCl in 150 ml liquid immediately before they began preparing for the descent (after they donned their space suits). During re-entry the cosmonauts had an anti-G suit on (without bladders).”

In July 1984, the Russian cosmonauts were on day 155 of their mission. On this day the group reported siting of strange lights and strange beings. According to Oleg Atkov, the commander, and cosmonauts Vladmir Solovyov and Leonid Kizim, the space station was completely filled with a compelling orange light. It appeared to come from outside the space station and through the wall. For a brief moment, the light was so bright that it blinded the crew. Once their vision was restored, each member looked out of the portholes for possible explanations, such as an explosion. The Salyut 7 has suffered previous fires, however the crew saw something more incomprehensible than solely the orange light. Each cosmonaut reported that they saw the face of seven angels who were hovering outside. They told ground control of the human like appearances, with addition to wings and halos. The angels kept pace with the space station for 10 minutes. On day 167, the crew was joined by a team of three from the Soyuz T-12 spacecraft. These three members included Svetlana Savitskaya, Igor Volk and Vladimir Dzhanibekov. Upon joining them, the Salyut 7 was revisited by the orange light. Repeating the same routine as before, they looked out of their portholes, and to no surprise, saw the angels. This incident was deemed top secret in the old Soviet Union, and was told to not be spoken of publicly.

Post-Cosmonaut Career
When Atkov returned to Earth he ended his cosmonaut career by retiring on October 2nd, 1984. (10) Atkov then returned to the Myasnikov Institute of Clinical Cardiology, where he became Head of Department of new diagnostic methods.(5)  After his time at the Myasnikov Institute he soon became the Deputy-Director of the Department of Space Life Science at the International Space University in Strasbourg, France in 1989 to 1996. (10)

During most of his career, Atkov was dedicated to researching the importance of telemedicine. In 2000 he became the President of the Russian Telemedicine Association. two years after, he would become the Head of the Health Department of the Ministry of Railways of Russian Federation (soon to be reformed to the JSC Russian Railways) where he would promote and continue his work telemedicine. Since August 2005, he is Vice-President of the Russian Railways JSC with responsibility and focus in healthcare.(10)

He has since written about 150 published articles and has done several monographs. Atkov also has 15 inventions and holds several patents. He has helped and supervised 30 candidates from Russia for the Doctor of Medical Science and five candidates for a Masters degree in space studies at the International Space University.(10)

In a 2012 interview with 3 Eyes Observer, Doctor Atkov was questioned about the future of space exploration. He answered the question by saying that we need to focus on returning to the moon, but with a different goal than the space race that occurred half a century prior. "...Before, it was racing between two superpower countries like USA and Soviet Union. Now we have to think about how to establish an international base on the Moon’s surface. We should be very pragmatic with the investigation not only for the base research but also for the applied science as well as thinking of it as an outpost for Universe observation and solar system observation. We also should be thinking about how to go further for example to Mars. But we have to prepare the Mars mission as well as the Moon base in absolutely safe conditions because now, from the scientific point of view, we know a lot – about the hazards, about the obstacles we should find on the way. In this case, we are equipped very well and we have to be in the safe condition all together, especially the crew working in the Moon base and going to Mars."
