At the conclusion of 64 orbits, Vostok 3 descended into the earth's atmosphere, followed by Vostok 4 after its 48th orbit.
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.

 Vostok programme Summary
Vostok's engineering and scientific goals were secondary to the political aim of putting a man into space first but included testing basic spacecraft systems such as life support and demonstrating that humans could withstand launch, weight-lessness, re-entry into the atmosphere, and landing.
Vostok 4 (August 12 to 15, 1962) carried Pavel Popovich to within 6.5 kilometers (4 miles) of Vostok 3.
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 performing stunt flights and achieving Soviet "firsts" in space.

The full size of Lake Vostok was first revealed in 1996 by the flat ice sheet surface mapped from the European ERS-1 satellite (see picture on the upper left side or click here).
Subglacial Lake Vostok is the closest terrestrial analogue to Europa, the ice covered Jovian moon, and to a Neoproterozoic snowball Earth.

 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.

 Introduction
The Vostok crew accommodation was for one cosmonaut, in a spacesuit, equipped with an ejection seat for launch aborts and for landing on the earth.
The Vostok class of space capsule incorporated many features that would be used by all the major spacefaring countries for the next 20 years or so.

 in-cites - An Interview With Dr. Jean-Robert Petit
Here, the Vostok data suggests a small variation (excess) of insulation (resulting from the long-term earth-sun position changes, the shortening/lengthening of the seasons) will likely warm the earth and the ocean which will release additional CO2 that in turn contributes again to an additional warming.
The Vostok record is now shown in schools and used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to evaluate the complex consequences of future global warming.
The deep drilling from Vostok, which was taken down to 3,650 m, penetrated through an ice massif which was formed from the refreezing of water from a giant underlying subglacial lake.

 Vostok
In this lab we will work with the original data from the famous Vostok Ice Cores, which "carry the distinction of being the only ice cores that scientists are certain have remained undisturbed for the last interglacial and the penultimate glacial periods" (AGU, 1995).
Second, this ice is relatively undisturbed (elsewhere the ice has been subject to substantial flow and/or seasonal conditions that might destroy the ice).
This dataset contains columns that give the depth (in meters) of the ice core, the "ice" and "gas" ages (in thousands of years ago), concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane found in the ice bubbles, the hydrogen isotopic ratios, and a column that provides information on dust.
