	Info and facts on 'Vostok spacecraft'
		On reentry, the cosmonaut (A person trained to travel in a spacecraft) would eject from the craft at about 7,000 m (23,000 ft) and descend via parachute, while the capsule would land separately.
		The Vostok spacecraft was originally designed for use both as a camera platform (for the Soviet Union's first spy satellite program, Zenit (additional info and facts about Zenit)) and as a manned spacecraft.
		The basic Vostok design has remained in use for some forty years, gradually adapted for a range of other unmanned satellite (Man-made equipment that orbits around the earth or the moon) s.

	Wired 8.04: Ice Station Vostok
		Vostok's existence was unknown until 30 years ago, when radar and seismographs allowed scientists to piece together a map.
		The ice below Vostok station is a history book, with each core a vertical record of prevalent conditions at a particular point in time: the amount of dust in the atmosphere, the levels of trace gases, even the weights of the water molecules themselves, which provide hints to major climatic events.
		The problem facing life in Vostok is that if microbes can't photosynthesize, they must rely on chemicals in the environment that have the potential to react with each other and release energy.

	AGU Web Site: Deciphering Mysteries of Past Climate From Antarctic Ice Cores
		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.
		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.
