Vostok 1 was the first manned spacecraft to complete a full orbit, Vostok 2 the first to spend a full day in space.
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.
Lake Vostok's physical characteristics have led scientists to argue that it might serve as an earthbound analog for Europa, a moon of Jupiter.

 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.
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.
During re-entry the instrument section of Vostok was still attached to the spherical re-entry vehicle by straps and Titov suffered the same nerve-racking experience as Gagarin.

The Vostok (&1042;&1086;&1089;&1090;&1086;&1082;, translated as "East") was a type of spacecraft built by the Soviet Union's space program for human spaceflight.
Vostok spacecraft The craft consisted of a spherical descent module (mass 2.46 tonnes, diameter 2.3 meters), which housed the cosmonaut, instruments and escape system, and a conical instrument module (mass 2.27 tonnes, 2.25 m long, 2.43 m wide), which contained propellant and the engine system.
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.

Vostok 4 was a mission in the Soviet space program.
It was launched a day after Vostok 3 with cosmonaut Pavel Popovich on board - the first time that more than one manned spacecraft was in orbit at the same time.
The mission went largely as planned, despite a malfunction with the Vostok's life-support systems that meant that cabin temperature dropped down to 10 °C. The flight was terminated early, after a misunderstanding by ground control, who believed that Popovich had given them a code-word asking to be brought back ahead of schedule.

The chief 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.
The mission was originally conceived as being a joint mission with two Vostoks each carrying a female cosmonaut, but this changed as the Vostok program experienced cutbacks as a precursor to the retooling of the program into the Voskhod program.

 BBC - Science & Nature - Horizon - The Lost World of Lake Vostok
Vostok Station was established in 1957 in the coldest place on Earth.
NARRATOR: Some geologists theorised that the Earth beneath Vostok could have been pulled in different directions by these forces until it split open, but it was when Robin Bell looked at the timing of this process that she realised how old the lake could really be.
This suggests that the processes that formed Lake Vostok the pulling apart of the Earth are active today and that there’s a good chance there may be hot springs along the edge of Lake Vostok.

Achieving the first EVA ("spacewalk") was the main purpose of the programme, but beating the US Gemini program to put the first multi-person crew in orbit also became an important objective.
Both were realised and the programme was then abandoned due to the EVA problems on Voskhod 2 and the need to concentrate on the Soyuz programme.
