	Vostok
		Vostok 1 was the first manned spacecraft to complete a full orbit, Vostok 2 the first to spend a full day in space.
		Vostok 5 was the first long-duration mission, and Vostok 6 the first to carry a woman.
		Vostok 3 and 4 took off from the same launch pad a day apart and were placed in such accurate orbits that the spacecraft passed within 6.5 km of each other.

	Vostok 1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gagarin orbited the Earth once, in 108 minutes, and returned unharmed, ejecting from the Vostok capsule 7 km above the ground and parachuting separately to the ground (the capsule's parachute landing was too rough for cosmonauts to risk).
		When Soviet officials filled out the FAI papers to register the flight of Vostok 1, they stated that the launch site was "Baykonur" at 47° 22′ 00″ N, 65° 29′ 00″ E.
		Pressure in the cockpit is 1; humidity 65; temperature 20; pressure in the compartment 1.2....

	Vostok 1
		Each cosmonaut sits in a Vostok mock-up for 40 to 50 minutes and describes the equipment and the operations to be conducted in each phase of flight.
		As of now, six Vostoks have been launched, of which four reached orbit, and two landed successfully (one of these albeit after an emergency separation from the third stage on a suborbital trajectory).
		Three variant press releases are prepared, for 1) attainment of a successful orbit; 2) after a successful landing; and 3) in the event of an emergency landing with a request for international assistance in recovery and return of the cosmonaut.

	AGU Web Site: Deciphering Mysteries of Past Climate From Antarctic Ice Cores
		Ice cores drilled at Vostok Station, Antarctica, 10 years ago by Russia, France, and the United States (see figure 1) are providing a wealth of information about past climate and environmental changes over more than a full glacial-interglacial cycle.
		At Vostok, accumulation is too low for recognizable annual signals to form, so we developed a chronology combining an ice flow model and an accumulation model that accounts for the fact that accumulation was lower during colder periods and vice versa.
		There is also a correlation between the Vostok dust concentration and the record of mass accumulation rate in a core taken from the Indian Ocean.

		Vostoks 5 and 6 were launched two days apart and traveled very close together, at times only 3 mi (5 km) apart, setting the stage for future dockings between orbiting vehicles.
		Vostok was sighted in 1820 by the Russian Antarctic explorer Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen and was named for his ship.
		On April 12, 1961, the 4.75-ton spacecraft Vostok 1 was launched at 9:07 in the morning, Moscow time, from a location in Baikonur, a wasteland in the south-central region of the Soviet Union (now in Kazakhstan).

	Soyuz 1
		Four Vostoks are planned for 1964, one of these with dogs and other biological specimens, which will fly for ten days at altitudes of up to 600 km.
		Variant 1 would involve launch of two spacecraft, with transfer of one to two crew to the translunar spacecraft in earth orbit.
		The drop of the Soyuz 1 mock-up at Fedosiya was cancelled due to the great likelihood of loss of the spacecraft and the low likelihood of obtaining any new data as a result.

	The First Human Spaceflight: Minute By Minute
		After arriving at the pad along with his backup, cosmonaut Gherman Titov, Gagarin said goodbye to the engineers and officials in attendance and rode an elevator to the tip of the rocket where a spacecraft called Vostok (the Russian word for "east") was perched.
		Vostok consisted of a spherical descent module containing the crew cabin, which was attached to a conical instrument module that housed the craft’s retrorocket.
		Vostok was programmed to operate automatically, or by commands from mission control.

	An analysis of the flight of Vostok-1
		The communications system with Vostok was based on VHF communications (143.625 MHz) but also on short-wave communications using strong transmitters belonging to the USSR Ministry of Communications.
		In particular for the Vostok flight, the spacecraft flew over water from the moment it left Soviet territory until retro-fire, so even if there had been VHF ground stations on foreign soil, they would not have helped, and the lack of tracking ships therefore forced the use of HF.
		TV transmissions from Vostok are not mentioned in (2), (3), or (4), except that in (3) Gagarin mentions that he has switched on the TV lights.

		Lake Vostok was identified in 1996 by Russian and British scientists (Kapitsa et al., 1996) who integrated data ranging from down-hole seismics, star observations and airborne ice-penetrating radar to new spaceborne altimetric observations.
		The horizontal extent of the lake is estimated from the flat surface (0.01 degrees) observed in the ERS-1 ice surface altimetry.
		Between December 2000 and January 2001 we completed an aerogeophysical survey around Vostok as part of the NSF award for PIs Bell and Studinger.

		He ejected from Vostok 1 about 20 minutes before landing, a fact hidden by the Soviet government because it was required (by F.A.I. rules) that a pilot was to remain in his craft from launch to landing to qualify as a space flight.
		All of the Vostok capsules landed too hard for a pilot to remain on board.
		It has been claimed that if the rules had been adherred to, the U.S. would have had the first man in space and the first man in orbit.
