Pilots
A cosmonaut training group for pilots assigned to fly this vehicle was formed in the early 1960s. It went through many changes and was eventually dissolved entirely. Known members included:
- Gherman Titov, the second man to orbit the Earth (see Vostok 2 mission).
- A. G. Fastovets, who piloted the vehicle during the majority of its atmospheric tests.

Famous quotes containing the word pilots:
“You know what I’m talking about. This business has changed. Flyers aren’t pilots anymore, they’re engineers. This is a college man’s game. Our work is done. The pioneering is over.”
