 Voskhod
The Voskhods were adaptations of the single place Vostok spacecraft meant to conduct flights with up to three crew and for space walks in advance of US Gemini program.
This delay was due to the layout of Voskhod, which left the Vostok cabin instruments and Vzor visual orientation device in their original place, but mounted the crew seats perpendicular to the original orientation of the Vostok ejection seat.
Voskhod s/n 5, 6, and 7 are to be completed in October, November, and December 1965; and s/n 8 and 9 in February and March 1966.

 ACP - Voskhod
The Voskhod was produced between 1964 and 1969 by the Leningrad-based factory that went under the name of GOMZ until 1965, as LOOMP until 1966, and which is known to this day onward as LOMO.
In my view, the Voskhod is a cross-over between a Smena-type camera (which is a line of cheap amateur cameras), and the Leningrad rangefinder, which was a big technological success for GOMZ and the whole of the Soviet Union, from the late 1950's right up to the late 1960's.
Th Voskhod's viewfinder is of the Galileo type, which means that it's bright, brilliant and big, a bit like the one of the Zorki-4.

 Summary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
In the case of Voskhod 2, Cosmos 57 was used to conduct tests of the inflatable airlock to be used by Alexei Leonov on his world first - a spacewalk from Voskhod 2.
Further Voskhod missions were planned for 1966 and beyond, but they were cancelled in order that work could be concentrated on developing and building Soyuz.
Voskhod 2 lands in the Ural Mountains, near the town of Perm which is nearly 1000 kilometres north of the originally planned landing site - the crew has to wait nearly 24 hours before being reached by a rescue party, and a further 24 hours before flying out from the landing zone

Because the Voskhod would be launched into a much higher orbit than the Vostok, Korolev knew he couldn't count on a natural dec ay period of ten days if the retrorockets did not fire.
Voskhod 1 was launched on a new rocket, the SL-4 Soyuz s pace launcher on 12 October 1964.
Although a Voskhod 3 had been planned it was promptly cancelled at the end of 1965 and all Soviet efforts concentrated on the new Soyuz program to get cosmonauts to the Moon.

 Spacewalker - Voskhod
La capsula Voskhod era in pratica la Vostok, cioè un abitacolo sferico di 2,2 m di diametro, che sovrastava il compartimento con strumentazione, retrorazzi, batterie, e che veniva abbandonato subito dopo l'inizio della manovra di rientro.
La Voskhod 2 era attrezzata con una camera di decompressione gonfiabile che doveva permettere al pedone Leonov di adattarsi, prima, in uscita, al vuoto dello spazio e quindi, al rientro, all'atmosfera della capsula.
Voskhod 2: difficoltà per Leonov a rientrare dopo la passeggiata perché la tuta si era gonfiata; avaria del sensore del controllo di assetto e impossibilità a usare il sistema automatico di rientro; uso di quello manuale da parte di Beiyayev e discesa a 2000 km dalla zona prevista.

 The First Spacewalk: The 35th Anniversary
Unlike a previous Voskhod launch with the first multi-member crew (a mission inspired by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev), the Voskhod 2 mission was driven by scientific vision.
After analyzing the Voskhod 2 reentry capsule, engineers reported to Korolev that the spacecraft's parachute had been jettisoned by a signal from a special probe when it touched the ground.
If the probe had grazed treetops during the Voskhod 2 landing, it would certainly have detached the chute leaving the capsule and crew to free-fall.

 The Voskhod 2 mission revisited
The Voskhod 2 spacecraft carrying Pavel Belyayev and Alexei Leonov was launched at 0700 UT from Baikonur and put into a 169-473 km orbit at 64.8 degree inclination and a period of 90.9 minutes.
Voskhod 2 was announced by TASS as transmitting voice on 143.625 MHz, 18.035 MHz and 17.365 MHz and having a "Signal" beacon transmitter on 19.996 MHz.
Voice from Voskhod 2 was picked up in Sweden by the telecommunication administration's spectrum monitoring station in Enkoping at 1316-1318 UT on 17.365 MHz.

 BookRags: Voskhod Summary
Soviet engineers designed the Voskhod ("Dawn") spacecraft to keep the Soviet Union ahead in the space race of the 1960s while they developed their advanced Soyuz spacecraft.
Voskhod weighed 5,300 kilograms (11,684 pounds), about 570 kilograms (1,260 pounds) more than Vostok, and so the Voskhod rocket was more powerful than the Vostok version.
Voskhod 1 was so cramped that the three cosmonauts could not wear space suits for protection.

Although trumpeted to the world as a triumph (with suspect TV pictures and film of the spacewalk which did not match), this was the swan song of the Soviet space program and for Korolev.

Voskhod (Russian for "sunrise"), was the second of the Soviet Union's series of piloted spacecraft.
The Voskhod vehicles were very similar to their Vostok predecessors, except that the cabin was enlarged to hold up to three cosmonauts - by dispensing with some instruments and the ejection seat for the original one pilot).
The Voskhod 2 craft parachuted into a remote region of the Ural mountains, where the two cosmonauts spent two days in the wilderness before rescue teams found them.

 The flight of Voskhod-1, what a surprise!
Voskhod was also equipped with an ion flow sensor for yaw attitude steering in the case the spacecraft was in eclipse.
This was probably a feature needed for the "extra Vostoks" since the longer flight time may have made it necessary to consider retrofire in darkness in order to take into account of the precession of the orbital plane during a long flight.
TV images from Voskhod were relayed to west European viewers by Eurovision at 1100 UT. Nikita Khrushchev and Anastas Mikoyan, both members of the Soviet leadership, spoke to the crew at 1400 UT (listen here) (4).
