	Vostok 5
		Like Vostoks 3 and 4, Vostok 5 and 6 were joint missions, and like the previous pair, came close to one another in orbit and established a radio link.
		Cosmonaut Valery Bykovsky was originally intended to stay in orbit for eight days, but the mission details changed many times due to elevated levels of solar flare activity at the time and he was eventually ordered back after only five days.
		The only other difficulty encountered was that, like on Vostoks 1 and 2, the re-entry module failed to separate cleanly from the service module when it was time for Bykovsky to come home.

	Vostok programme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A series of prototype Vostoks, including at least five with animals and some with a test dummy aboard, were used to qualify the spacecraft for human flight.
		Vostok 3 - August 11, 1962, and Vostok 4 - August 12, 1962.
		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 achieving Soviet "firsts" in space.

		Vostok re-enters the atmosphere - Gagarin's ride is rough as the instrument unit and the cabin remain joined by a cable until re-entry heating burns it through
		Vostok 4 (3KA-6) launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome by Vostok rocket into 165 x 222 kilometre orbit at 65.0 degrees inclination with cosmonaut Pavel Popovich aboard - it's orbit is close to that of Vostok 3
		Approx time - Vostok 5 re-enters the atmosphere - Bykovsky's ride is rough as the instrument unit and the cabin remain joined by a cable until re-entry heating burns it through - a similar problem to that encountered by Gagarin

	Sandcastle V.I. - Spaceflight Directory - Vostok Flight Details
		Vostok 3 and Vostok 4 were in similar orbits and passed within 4 miles of each other.
		The duration of almost 5 days was to be the longest Soviet flight until Soyuz 9 in 1970.
		Although Vostok 5 and Vostok 6 passed within 3 miles of each other, they were not in similar orbits and could not perform a rendezvous.

	Vostok
		The Vostok could not be used for circumlunar missions or earth missions with non-astronaut qaulified crew due to the 'Sharik' reentry vehicle design.
		The temperature in the cabin of Vostok 2 went down to 10 deg C due to what turned out to be an installation error (both the primary and back-up circulation fans were operating).
		Furthermore, the modified Vostok is inherently risky, with no way to save the crew in case of a launch vehicle malfunction in the first 40 seconds of flight.

		In 1960 he was selected in the first cosmonaut group and became the second man to orbit the earth in a one day flight in 1961 aboard Vostok 2.
		On June 14, 1963, Vostok 5 was launched with cosmonaut Valeri Bykovsky aboard.
		Vostok 5 had been planned for a record eight days in space, but Bykovsky had trouble with his thermal regulation system and ended up landing after five days, only three hours after Vostok 6.

	Vostok (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Vostok 3 studied man's ability to function under conditions of weightlessness; conducted scientific observations; furthered improvement of space ship systems, communications, guidance and landing.
		All follow-on Vostok missions were cancelled in spring 1964 when the decision was made to proceed with conversion of Vostok to the multi-crew Voskhod configuration.
		Purposes of these flights were to be: geophysical and astronomical research; photography of the solar corona; solar x-ray imagery; medical-biological research; detailed study of the effects of weightlessness on the human organism; dosimetry; and engineering tests of ion flow sensors to be used for orientation of later Soyuz spacecraft.

	Vostok 6
		A joint flight with Vostok 5, Vostok 6 carried the first woman into space, cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova.
		This was largely a publicity exercise on the part of Soviet space programme director Sergei Korolev, but data was collected on the female body's reaction to spaceflight.
		The mission was originally conceived as being a joint mission with two Vostoks carrying female cosmonauts, but this changed as the Vostok programme was cut back

		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.

		Titov returned safely to Earth in Vostok 2 and was able to eject from the spacecraft and ride his parachute without further problems.
		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.
		The reason for launching the cosmonauts simultaneously and putting them so close together, within 5 kilometers, was to monitor both cosmonauts simultaneously to see if they both had the same reactions to space flight.
