The famous Russian cosmonaut Alexey Leonov, who was the first to walk in space, has been an artist since childhood and an Orthodox Christian. Toward the end of his life he participated in the painting of the first Icon to be used for the patronage of astronomy and space travel.
The name of it is "I am with you and no one shall be against you", which is a line from the troparion of the Savior's holy ascension.
