  Voskhod 1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Voskhod 1 was the first spaceflight to carry more than one person into space and the first flight without space suits.
The Voskhod spacecraft is basically a Vostok spacecraft that has had a backup, solid fuel retro rocket, added to the top of the descent module.
This was necessary because, unlike the Vostok, the crew lands with the Voskhod descent module.

 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.
The heavier Voskhods were launched by the 11A57 launch vehicle with a much larger third stage than that used for the Vostoks.
A follow-on Voskhod 3V s/n 7 mission was also planned that would have conducted an artificial gravity experiment, unreeling a tether between the Voskhod spacecraft and the Block I final rocket stage.

The desire to explore the heavens is probably as old as humankind, but in the strictest sense, the history of space exploration begins very recently, with the launch of the first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, which the Soviets sent into orbit in 1957.
On January 2, 1959, after two earlier failed missions, the USSR launched Luna 1, which was intended to hit the Moon.
Landsat 1 was equipped with cameras that recorded images not just of visible light but of other wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum (see Electromagnetic Radiation).

Mission Highlights: The Voskhod spacecraft was a modified Vostok, into which three cosmonauts were squeezed, without space suits.
Because the ejection seats had to be removed to accomodate a crew of three, the cosmonauts rode the craft down to Earth by parachute.
Voskhod 2 had an inflatable airlock installed and Leonov made the world's first extra-vehicular activity (EVA) -- a 24-minute space walk.

The two-man Voskhod 2 achieved another on-orbit spectacular when Alexei Leonov carried out the first spacewalk.
To enable this, Soviet engineers had designed an airlock which could be inflated in orbit to form a tunnel for exiting and reentering without having to let the air out of the cabin.

In retrospect, Voskhod 2 can be seen as the last of the Soviet manned space spectaculars, as the Gemini program, the first flight of which was launched less than a week after Voskhod 2, caught and surpassed most Soviet-held manned space records.

The world's first recovery of an orbital spacecraft with its crew aboard on land was made possible by rocket package suspended above capsule in parachute lines, which ignited just prior to impact in order to cushion landing.
The environmental control system compensated by flooding the cabin with oxygen, creating a serious fire hazard in a craft only qualified for sea level nitrogen-oxygen gas mixes (Cosmonaut Bondarenko had burned to death in a ground accident in such circumstances, preceding the Apollo 204 disaster by many years).
A manually controlled retrofire was accomplished one orbit later (perhaps with the backup solid rocket retropack on the nose of spacecraft - which did not exist on Vostok).
