  Voskhod
The lack of space also meant that the Voskhod crews did not wear space suits, although one was taken on the Voshkod 2 mission.
Finally, the Voskhod 2 spacecraft carried a large inflatable airlock that allowed cosmonaut Aleksei Leonov to exit and re-enter the craft.
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.

In 1930, in New Mexico, he launched a 10-ft long liquid-propellant rocket to 2,000 ft altitude and 500-mph; five years later to 7,250 ft altitude and to 550 mph with a tapered projectile body and gyro-stabilized exhaust fins.
Drawn to build a rocket in connection with a movie, he designed a conical shape, liquid-oxygen and gasoline fuels, a "cone-jet" combustion chamber with vaporized injection.
Although his ideals were originally ignored they soon revolutionized the use of the rocket as the key component in the exploration of space.
