As a cosmonaut Feoktistov flew on [[Voskhod 1]], the first spacecraft to carry three crew members.{{efn|Voskhod 1 was also the first spacecraft to carry ''more than one'' crew member, preceding the two-man flights of the American [[Gemini Program]]. Despite this, Voskhod 1 did not represent the first time that more than one human had been in space at the same time. This [[List of spaceflight records#Human spaceflight firsts|first occurred]] when [[Andriyan Nikolayev]] and [[Pavel Popovich]] simultaneously orbited Earth in separate spacecraft—[[Vostok 3]] and [[Vostok 4]], respectively.}} Feoktistov also wrote several books on space technology and exploration. The [[Feoktistov (crater)|Feoktistov crater]] on the far side of the [[Moon]] is named in his honor.
