	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.
		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 Voskhod was succeeded by the Soyuz spacecraft.

	Voskhod 2
		Voskhod 2 set another space milestone as one of the cosmonauts on board became the first person to "walk in space".
		The spacecraft was fitted with a special inflatable airlock[?] that was extended once it had reached orbit.
		After coming back inside, there were problems with sealing the hatch properly, and this was followed by a troublesome re-entry, when like some earlier Vostok spacecraft, the Voskhod's descent module did not separate cleanly.

	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.
		The spacecraft landed in the snow-covered taiga, and the first help came in the form of the timber workers who arrived 24 hours later.
		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.

	Voskhod spacecraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		In the case of Voskhod 2, an inflatable exterior airlock was also added to the descent module opposite the entry hatch.
		This was necessary because, unlike the Vostok, the crew lands with the Voskhod descent module.

	Voskhod 1
		Four spacecraft will be completed, two in a three-man configuration, to be flown in the second half of 1964, and two in a configuration that will provide an airlock and allow one cosmonaut to exit into open space.
		Work on completing the spacecraft is finally on schedule, but then it is found that there is a failure in the Signal device, which provides communications after the separation of the capsule from the equipment section after retrofire.
		The spacecraft is to conduct retrofire on its 17th orbit of the earth and land in Kustan, where winds are 15-17 m/s.

	Voskhod \| Macmillan Space Sciences
		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.

	Cat Castle, History of Space Exploration
		Although artificial satellites and piloted spacecraft are achievements of the later 20th century, the technology and principles of space travel stretch back hundreds of years, to the invention of rockets in the 11th century and the formulation of the laws of motion in the 17th century.
		In space, the motions of satellites and interplanetary spacecraft are described by the laws of motion formulated by German astronomer Johannes Kepler, also in the 17th century.
		Gemini was also the first spacecraft to utilize fuel cells, devices that generated electrical power by combining hydrogen and oxygen.

	Summary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		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

	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.
		Kamanin notes that the spacecraft requires short cosmonauts of minimum weight (Belyayev is 170 cm tall and weighs 72 kg; Leonov 172 cm and 78.2 kg; Gorbatko 168.5 cm and 69 kg; Khrunov 171 cm and 70.8 kg; and Zaikin 167 cm and 69.3 kg).
		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 programme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Voskhod development was both a follow-on to the Vostok programme, and a recycling of components left over from that programme's cancellation following its first six flights.
		The Voskhod spacecraft was basically a Vostok spacecraft that had a backup, solid fuel retrorocket added to the top of the descent module.
		Although achieving the first EVA ("spacewalk") became the main success of the programme, beating the U.S. Gemini programme to put the first multi-person crew in orbit was the objective that initially motivated the programme.

		Voskhod 2 was launched with two men on board, cosmonauts Pavel I. Belyayev, pilot, and Aleksey A. Leonov, co-pilot.
		The spacecraft was equipped with an extendable air lock that permitted Leonov's exit into space without having to evacuate the main cabin air.
		A manually controlled reentry was performed because of a malfunction of the automatic orientation devices for the retrofire, and the spacecraft landed in a pine forest far north of the target area.

		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.

		This was a one-person spacecraft first flown by Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, who made one orbit of the Earth on April 12th, 1961.
		But in the meantime, a spacecraft was prepared for the mission, and the name its pilot had given it was painted on the side (as was the tradition in the Mercury days), "Freedom 7 II".
		The Voskhod spacecraft was actually a modified Vostok with safety features such as the ejection seat removed to accommodate more than Vostok's one man. At the time the configuration of the Voskhod was not known in the West.

	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.
		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).
		The spacecraft landed at 0747:03 UT at a spot 312 km northeast of Kustanay in Kazakhstan, and he successful conclusion of the flight was announced by Soviet media at 0900 UT.

	Photon - Russia and Materials Science
		The Photon spacecraft used for these flights is a derivative of the 1960's era Vostok/Voskhod manned spacecraft and the Zenit military reconnaissance satellites and is very similar to the currently operational Bion and Resurs-F satellites.
		The 6,200-kg spacecraft is 6.2 m in length with a maximum diameter of 2.5 m and is divided into three major sections: The service/retro module, the payload capsule, and an equipment block.
		(Photon spacecraft have also flown the Zona 1, Zona 4, Splav 2, and Konstanta 2 electric furnaces as well as the Kashtan electrophoresis unit.) Photon 6, which also carried the European Biopan life sciences experiments, was successfully recovered on the 15th day (Reference 788).

	Spacecraft - Vostok
		The Vostok and Voskhod spacecraft, like the U.S. Mercury, could not perform orbital maneuvers - they could only be translated around their axes.
		Spacecraft attitude in relation to the local motion along the orbit was determined by sun sensors, infrared horizon sensors and ion gauges, which could detect the spacecraft's direction of motion by the greater velocity of ions impacting the spacecraft in the direction of motion.
		When the spacecraft was perfectly centered in respect to the horizon, all eight of the ports would be lit up.

		Voskhod 2, being the second flight of the Voskhod program was capable of holding three cosmonauts in its capsule, which was another first for the Russians.
		The Voskhod 2 craft was equipped with an airlock fitted on the side of the craft to be used by Soviet Cosmonaut, Alexei Leonov for his space walk.
		Intended to soft-land on the lunar surface of the moon, Luna 9 was launched on February 3, 1966, by the Russians.

	The Partnership - ch3-6
		Voskhod II overshot the recovery area and landed in a dense forest on the snow-covered slopes of the Ural Mountains.
		The paradoxical result is that the faster moving spacecraft has actually slowed relative to the target, since its orbital period, which is a direct function of its distance from the center of gravity, has also increased.
		The proper technique is for the spacecraft to reduce its speed, dropping to a lower and thus shorter orbit, which will allow it to gain on the target.

	[No title]
		During Voskhod 2's second orbit, Leonov stepped from the vehicle and performed mankind's first "walk in space." After 10 min of extravehicular activity, he returned safely to the spacecraft through an inflatable airlock.
		The spacecraft should be designed to have more aerodynamic lift than Mercury, so the pilot could have more landing control; fuel cells (instead of batteries) with enough electric power to support longer duration flights; and fighter plane-type ejection seats for crew abort, to supersede the launch escape rocket that perched on top of Mercury.
		Once on the pad the spacecraft was struck by lightning, threatened by not one but two hurricanes, and forced to undergo check after check.

		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).
		In addition to the spacecraft, you get a cosmonaut figure, flexible wire to link him to the airlock tube, and the EVA camera to mount at the top.
