	Vostok 6 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A joint flight with Vostok 5, Vostok 6 carried the first woman into space, cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova.
		The cheif designer for the Vostok program was Sergei Korolev, Data was collected on the female body's reaction to spaceflight.
		Her photographs of the horizon from space were later used to identify aerosol layers within the atmosphere.

	Vostok programme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The programme developed the Vostok spacecraft from the Zenit photo-reconnaissance project and adapted the Vostok rocket from an existing ICBM design.
		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.
		Another seven Vostok flights were originally planned, going through to the April of 1966, but these were cancelled as the race to the moon intensified.

	MSN Encarta - Valentina Tereshkova
		Tereshkova was born to a peasant family in the Yaroslavl’ region of the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).
		The flight targeted for the first woman was the second dual flight in the Vostok program, meaning a mission on which two craft would be in orbit at the same time, and ground control would maneuver them to within 5 km (3 mi) of each other.
		Vostok 5, with cosmonaut Valeriy Bykovsky on board, launched on June 14, 1963.

	Vostok 6 Report (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Communications between Earth and Vostok 6 were sometimes difficult, but this was probably because of faulty equipment and not, as it was initially thought, because she had selected the wrong channel.
		Vostok was always portrayed as a roomy spacecraft by the media, but in truth it was cramped and the cosmonaut had to remain in (or floating slightly above) their seat, wearing the full pressure garment and helmet in the event of a sudden cabin decompression.
		At 4 miles altitude, she activated the seat ejection system and separated from the capsule to descend by parachute, leaving the empty Vostok 6 to follow a pre-programmed automatic parachute descent and landing (as was the case for all 6 Vostok missions).

		Vostok was the first manned spacecraft in the history of Astronautics when in 1961 Yuri A. Gagarin became the first man to go in Space.
		Vostok design demonstrated highly flexible because from Vostok was derived Voskhod and a whole series of unmanned capsules (Foton, Resurs, Bion, Efir e Nika) still in use today for scientific research in Microgravity.
		Vostok wasn’t equipped with landing retrorockets and it forced the Cosmonaut to leave the capsule (after the reentry) with an ejection seat at era a 7.000 meters of height.

		Perhaps I'd feel comfier, since I like VOSTOK 6 a lot, comparing it to Gong's YOU, or Jon Anderson's OLIAS OF SUNHILLOW; and indeed, it wouldn't shock me if those were influences, but I'd be ducking the obvious.
		Until they start sounding more like snake-dancers; none of my descriptions hold for more than a couple of minutes on VOSTOK 6, which is one of its strengths, along with the fact that every transition is smooth.
		By several stages (organ, a brief hint of what does not turn out to be country, a noise which probably isn't a robot razzing you), we reach the end of part one: the opening fanfare is commericialized into TV-news music, the rhythm hints at samba, and the channel changes in the background a few times.

		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.

		The stylings of Swinghammer’s Vostok 6 interestingly echo the rise and fall of the Russian space program—a shaky if ambitious start, some under-appreciated triumphs, and a final, poignant presence.
		Vostok 6 is an arty if not always artful theme record about the life and loves of the first woman in space, Valentina Tereshkova, who in 1963 orbitted the earth for three days in a craft code-named Seagull, and later fell in love with her cosmonaut comrade Andrian “Velvet Eyes” Nikolayev.
		While some of Vostok 6’s elements are as creaky as the MIR space station, as a whole, Swinghammer shows he is in enough control of his mission of love and commemoration to more than merit a listen from those seeking a specialized theme-trance experience.

		"Vostok 6" is introduced after an actual pause of a half-second.
		A small but real part of Vostok's sense of wonder, I think, is that like the aerospace technology of 40 years ago, it doesn't seem that out-of-reach to accomplish.

		Her enthusiasm for skydiving brought her to the attention of the Soviet space program, which sought to put a woman in space in the early 1960s as a means of achieving another "space first" before the United States.
		As an accomplished parachutist, Tereshkova was well equipped to handle one of the most challenging procedures of a Vostok space flight: the mandatory ejection from the capsule at about 20,000 feet during reentry.
		In February 1962, she was selected along with three other woman parachutists and a female pilot to begin intensive training to become a cosmonaut.

		One of the fun things is that as you collect it inspires revisiting the historical record which in the case of early cosmonautics has been somewhat distrorted and stated as historical fact to this day.
