	Vostok
		The basic Vostok design has remained in use for some forty years, gradually adapted for a range of other uncrewed satellites.
		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.
		On March 18, 1980 a Vostok rocket exploded on its launch pad during a fueling operation killing 50.

	Vostok 8K72K
		Vostok 8K72K - 8K72K COSPAR 1961-Mu 18,065 bytes.
		The first such flight, where Vostok capsules were launched one day apart, coming within a few kilometers of each other at the orbital insertion of the second spacecraft.
		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.

	The Vostok-1 mission
		The Vostok was blasted into space by the unique convergence of technical genius, personal sacrifice and a brutal political force unleashed by the class struggle.
		According to the official history of RKK Energia -- the successor to the OKB-1 design bureau, which developed the Vostok -- by April 1961, the R-7 rocket, which served as a base of the Vostok launcher, flew 46 times; the Block E, which served as the third stage, was launched 16 times.
		At the same time, the Vostok solidified the American determination to invest heavily into the fledgling manned space program and made it politically easier for the US government to commit to a risky and ambitious goal of landing a man on the Moon in ten years.

		It was expected to derive the new rocket from R-7 in an attempt to achieve an escape velocity and bring an automatic station to the Moon (Option 1), or to fly by the Moon with the automatic station (Option 2).
		On April 12, 1961 aboard Vostok spacecraft the first cosmonaut of our planet Yuri Gagarin was flown to the artificial Earth's satellite orbit.
		The LV Vostok launch mass is about 287 kg, the spacecraft mass is 4 725 kg.

	NASA - Rocket
		Rockets 50 to 100 feet (15 to 30 meters) long serve as long-range missiles that can be used to bomb distant targets during wartime.
		Rockets are especially valuable for (1) military use, (2) atmospheric research, (3) launching probes and satellites, and (4) space travel.
		Rockets used by the military vary in size from small rockets used on the battlefield to giant guided missiles that can fly across oceans.

	The R-7 family of launchers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The Soyuz, the most recognizable Russian rocket, is only one of several space boosters, which derived from the R-7 ballistic missile developed in the mid-1950s.
		On Wednesday, Oct. 16, Russian officials said the launch of the Soyuz TMA-1 spacecraft, which is to use the Soyuz FG rocket could be delayed, pending the investigation of the Plesetsk crash.
		Soyuz-U rocket blasted off from the nation's Northern Cosmodrome in Plesetsk on September 24, 2004, at 20:50 Moscow Time, and successfully delivered a military payload designated as Cosmos-2410 nine minutes later.

		(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.
		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
		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 ejection seat was tested from 4 km to the altitude of cut-off of the first stage of the Vostok rocket, simulating cosmonaut escape during launch vehicle aborts.
		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.

	EMRR's Review: Cosmodrome Rocketry - Vostok
		This model is a HPR 1/35 scale model of the Vostok launcher used to put the first man, Yuri Gagarin, in orbit in 1961.
		This area on the real rocket was stainless steel to protect it from heat from the central body motors.
		Remember this is a heavy rocket and it has a lot of cross sectional area to push through the air.

	Expendable launch system Summary
		Expendable rockets can take many forms, but the most commonly used ones are powered by either liquid fuel or solid fuel and use multiple stages to propel their cargoes of spaceships, probes, or satellites into outer space.
		But the expendable rockets developed and flown by Japan, Brazil, and India are all new designs that had no direct missile ancestor, although all were strongly influenced by missile systems in use at the time.
		The era of the expendable rocket may prove to be a long one in the evolving history of the space age.

		The Vostok-Zh could be used on another mission to assemble a 15 tonne orbital station with the mission of observing the earth.
		Vostok-Zh studies conducted for multiple dockings of rocket blocks and payloads in orbit for circumlunar missions, using Vostok rocket.
		He recommends that they should be finished as the 1100 to 1300 kg heavier 'Vostok-2', to be boosted by the 11A57 rocket, developed originally for the Zenit-4 spy satellite.

		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).
		Landed 48:09 N 71:51 E. By 07:00 the temperature aboard Vostok 4 is down to 10 deg C, and the humidity at 35%.
		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.

	Spacecraft - Vostok
		The Vostok spacecraft was the work of a team of scientists and engineers led by the Soviet Union's pioneer aerospace engineer, Segei P. Korolev.
		Small rockets at its base could propel the seat through a circular hatch in the module in case of emergency.
		Instrumentation on the Vostoks was rudimentary in the extreme.

	Vostok programme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The programme developed the Vostok spacecraft from the Zenit spy satellite 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 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.

		One of the United States first attempts to send an animal (squirrel monkey) into high altitudes ended in failure when the Jupiter rocket that it (the monkey) was in was lost at sea when the rocket had fallen back to Earth.
		In December 1959 a monkey called Sam flew in a prototype of the Mercury space capsule (the spacecraft in which the first American astronauts flew) successfully flew to an altitude of 85km and was safely recovered.
		The mission was a total success in that the animals were recovered alive and healthy; this marked the first live recovery mission in space history; the prerequisite to manned space flight.

	Sergey Pavlovich Korolyov
		Sergey Korolyov was one of the founders of Moscow Group for the Study of Reactive Motion and participated in the Soviet Union's first launch of a liquid-propellant rocket in 1933.
		After demonstrating his expertise in the modification of captured V2 rockets, Korolyov directed the design, testing, construction, and launching of the Vostok spacecraft, and most of the other projects undertaken by the U.S.S.R. Around 1958, Korolev argued for the pursuit of manned space flight instead of military reconnaissance satellites.
		After a lengthy and dangerous debate, he obtained approval for the development of the Vostok project provided the launch vehicle could also be used for military purposes.
