Konstantin Feoktistov, 83, Russian spaceship designer and Cosmonaut, died of unspecified causes Saturday in Moscow. In 1964, he traveled aboard the Voskhod spaceship as part of the first group space flight in history. Approval of his flight met resistance from the Politburo since Feoktistov was not a Communist Party member. Feoktistov helped design the Soyuz, Progress and Mir.
