Description

The Voskhod (Russian: Восход, "Sunrise") was a spacecraft built by the Soviet Union's space program for human spaceflight as part of the Voskhod programme. It was a development of and a follow-on to the Vostok spacecraft. Two variants were created, the Voskhod 3KV which held three cosmonauts, and the Voskhod 3KD which held two cosmonauts. Both variants had very similar specifications.

History

Voskhod 3KV flew on 12 October 1964 manned as Voskhod 1. It carried three cosmonauts and marked the first time more than one person had flown to space in the same craft. Voskhod 3KD flew on 18 March 1965 manned as the Voskhod 2 spacecraft. Voskhod 2 had a crew of two wearing spacesuits and marked the first spacewalk.
