Voskhod Voskhod was carried into orbit by a variant of the same R-7 rocket that was used for Vostok and Sputnik, but featured a larger upper stage to carry the heavier capsule. The spacewalk was the main purpose of the programme, but beating the US Gemini programme to put the first multi-person crew in orbit also became an important objective. The programme was then abandoned to concentrate on the Soyuz programme with the ultimate (unrealised) objective of putting a Soviet cosmonaut on the Moon as well as due to the EVA problems on Voskhod 2. www.ebroadcast.com.au /lookup/encyclopedia/vo/Voskhod.html   (326 words)

Voskhod programme - One Language   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) The Voskhod programme (Восход, translated as "Sunrise") was a Soviet human spaceflight project. It was a development of and a follow-on to the Vostok programme using the Voskhod spacecraft and rocket. Both were realised and the programme was then abandoned due to the EVA problems on Voskhod 2 and the need to concentrate on the Soyuz programme. www.onelang.com /encyclopedia/index.php/Voskhod_programme   (325 words)

Voskhod 2 Follow-on Voskhod missions were cancelled as too dangerous, and America took the lead with Gemini 4 and subsequent missions taking the records for duration, rendezvous and docking, and spacewalking. Of the five Voskhod spacecraft, that are to be completed in the first quarter of 1965, the following program is laid out: two will be devoted to flights of a single cosmonaut, without a spacesuit, on endurance missions of 12 to 15 days. 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. www.astronautix.com /flights/voskhod2.htm   (8759 words)

Summary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) 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. A Voskhod spacecraft re-fitted to carry two dogs took them on a flight which carried them into the lower layers of the van Allen radiation belts which surround the Earth. 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 www.zarya.info /Diaries/Voskhod1/Summary.htm   (520 words)

Voskhod programme Summary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) 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.

Voskhod 1 - Medbib.com, the modern encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) Voskhod 1 (Russian: Восход-1) was the first spaceflight to carry more than one person into space and the first flight without space suits. As a further propaganda coup, the spacecraft was claimed to have carried into orbit a fragment of a communard banner from the Paris Commune of 1871. 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. www.medbib.com /Voskhod_1   (274 words)

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. www.friends-partners.org /partners/mwade/project/voskhod.htm   (1137 words)

A drill programme was subsequently undertaken under the direct supervision of SRK and encompassed both resource confirmation and geotechnical drilling. This date was viewed as being aggressive and due to delays in the receipt of final tenders and reworking of the engineering and process costs in order to achieve project optimisation, Oriel has deemed it prudent to delay the completion of the DFS until 1st Quarter 2006. On behalf of Oriel an exploration programme was undertaken, consisting of the drilling of three fences of three holes each across the main target profiles comprising in total 2,100m of diamond drilling. www.globeinvestor.com /servlet/ArticleNews/print/CNW/20050929/C5195   (2942 words)

[No title] But as the programme progressed it became obvious that the 8K711 did not meet this requirement The point was that its stage 3 (Block 1) powered by Kosberg's 30-tonne thrust engine 8D715K would be essentially different from the Block I of the 8K78 which was in operational service. After serious discussions in the end of 1961 all these projects were cancelled in favour of a redesigned manned circumlunar programme, although the Sever programme even got as far as the full-scale wooden mock-up of the habitation module being built [3]. Sec- ondly, as a response to the progress being made with Apollo-Saturn, the full-scale N1-L3 programme was de- veloped on a broad front according to a decree of the Soviet government dated 3 August 1964. internetelite.ru /cosmopark/r7/prig9.htm   (2301 words)

THE SOVIET MANNED LUNAR PROGRAM - Title   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) First proposed in February 1964 (Hedrickx, 1997), Voskhod was basically a Vostok capable of carrying 2-3 cosmonauts into low Earth orbit to practise long duration spaceflight or (using additional equipment) spacewalks and dockings in space before Soyuz became available in 1966. But the mission was fraught with danger and Voskhod was to be the last Soviet manned flight for almost two years. The first lunar-landing mission would be commanded by the Voskhod 2 veteran, Alexei Leonov, with Oleg Makarov serving as the LOK pilot in lunar orbit. www.myspacemuseum.com /moon1.htm   (9277 words)

Last check: 2007-10-11) As the one-man Mercury spacecraft gave way to the two-man series on the American road to the Moon with Apollo, the multi-crewed Voskhod series which followed the single-seat Vostok was expected to compete with the Gemini programme. By developing the experience and techniques required to send cosmonauts to the Moon the series was planned as a stepping stone to the Soyuz and Zond lunar programmes then under development which would race Apollo to the Moon. It was extremely interesting to note that many of the unmanned Earth orbiting Russian satellites even up to the most recent launches are based significantly on these early designs. www.amazon.ca /Rocket-Men-Voskhod-Manned-Spaceflights/dp/185233391X   (1259 words)

Vostok programme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Vostok programme (Восто́к, translated as "East") was a Soviet human spaceflight project that succeeded in putting a person into Earth orbit for the first time. The programme developed the Vostok spacecraft from the Zenit spy satellite project and adapted the Vostok rocket from an existing ICBM design. Another seven Vostok flights were originally planned, going through to April of 1966, but these were cancelled and the components recycled into the Voskhod programme, which was intended more towards achieving Soviet "firsts" in space. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Vostok_programme   (233 words)

Cosmos-satellite Programme Summary It was launched from the Kapustin Yar space center on Mar. 16, 1962. Later that year, Vostok spacecraft modified for photographic reconnaissance were launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome under Cosmos designations, apparently in an attempt to conceal their true purpose, as were subsequent Moon-bound spacecraft trapped in parking orbits and unmanned tests of Voskhod and Soyuz spacecraft. Western observers, however, were generally able to distinguish the different Soviet programs and to identify most of the following satellite missions, a few of which were indeed scientific in nature. www.shvoong.com /science/425502-cosmos-satellite-programme   (257 words)

Space and Sanity: Apollo This policy led to the mysterious Voskhod programme; this consisted of only two flights, but they were the two most gimmicky, propaganda-laden missions ever undertaken — not to mention the most dangerous! During the Gemini programme in 1965-66, they mastered the techniques which would be required for Apollo to go to the Moon. Among their many achievements was the discovery, independently of the American intelligence services, of the existence of Russia’s “secret” military launch site at Plesetsk, as their determination of the orbits of certain satellites indicated that they could not have been launched from either of the known launch sites. homepage.ntlworld.com /neil.haggath/apollopage4.html   (6954 words)
