  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 - Wikipedia
Vostok (betekenis 'Oosten', spreek uit 'vastók' Cyrillisch: Восток) is het eerste programma van de Sovjetunie voor bemande ruimtevaart.
In ruim 2 jaar tijd hebben 6 Russen aan boord van een Vostok een ruimtevlucht gemaakt.
De Vostok 2 vloog in ruim 25 uur bijna 18 keer rond de aarde.

 Vostok spacecraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vostok (Восток, translated as "East") was a type of spacecraft built by the Soviet Union's space program for human spaceflight.
The Vostok spacecraft was originally designed for use both as a camera platform (for the Soviet Union's first spy satellite program, Zenit) and as a manned spacecraft.
The basic Vostok design has remained in use for some forty years, gradually adapted for a range of other unmanned satellites.

 Vostok 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vostok 2 was a Soviet space mission which carried cosmonaut Gherman Titov into orbit for a full day in order to study the effects of a more prolonged period of weightlessness on the human body.
Unlike Yuri Gagarin on Vostok 1 Titov took manual control of the spacecraft for a short while.
The flight was an almost complete success, marred only by a bout of space sickness, a malfunctioning heater that allowed the inside temperature to drop to 6.1°C (43°F), and a troublesome re-entry when the re-entry module failed to separate cleanly from its service module.

 Vostok 1
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).
After retrofire, the Vostok equipment module unexpectedly remained attached to the reentry module by a bundle of wires.
At 2.5 km altitude, the main parachute is deployed from the Vostok spacecraft.

 Wired 8.04: Ice Station Vostok
Vostok's existence was unknown until 30 years ago, when radar and seismographs allowed scientists to piece together a map.
The ice below Vostok station is a history book, with each core a vertical record of prevalent conditions at a particular point in time: the amount of dust in the atmosphere, the levels of trace gases, even the weights of the water molecules themselves, which provide hints to major climatic events.
The problem facing life in Vostok is that if microbes can't photosynthesize, they must rely on chemicals in the environment that have the potential to react with each other and release energy.

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.

Vostok 2 var den anden sovjetiske bemandede rumflyvning.
I modsætning til Gagarin på Vostok 1 overtog Titov kortvarigt kontrollen med rumskibet.
Dog viste Titov de første tegn på rumsyge, et varmeelement svigtede, så der blev koldt i kapslen, og landingssekvensen blev generet af en fejlagtig frakobling af servicemodulet.

(Vostok is Russian for East.) Vostok I was launched from the secret Russian space center at Baikonur, Russia, and made one orbit of the earth before landing near Smelovaka.
In Vostok 2, Cosmonaut Major Gherman Titov completed 17 orbits and then used the secondary landing system, ejecting from the capsule to make a separate descent by parachute.
Unlike the American spacecraft, Vostok had no attitude control system which would assist in placing the capsule forward to withstand the searing heat of re-entry, the sphere was designed with the weight off center.

After Titov's mandatory appearance on Lenin's tomb, the cosmonaut was whisked away to the hospital to undergo a number of tests to determine why he was sick.
Both during and after their flights neither Nikolayev nor Popovich exhibited any of the space sickness which had plagued Titov; the Soviets determined that this sickness may depend upon the individual rather then a direct result of long space flights.
