Voskhod
any of a second series of manned Soviet spacecraft. Following the triumph of the Vostok (q.v.) launchings that had put the first human in space, the Soviets developed the first spacecraft capable of carrying more than one crew member. On Oct. 12, 1964, Voskhod 1 carried three cosmonauts into Earth orbit.
Voskhod 1 represented a major advance over the earlier Vostok series of manned orbiters. It was 1,500 pounds (680 kilograms) heavier and featured many technical improvements. It was the first spacecraft to employ an ion-propulsion system and was considered so reliable that no space suits were worn in flight.


Поражаюсь наивности америкосов. До них, наверное, не дошел единственный выход конструкторов, которым надо было в одноместный "Восток" втиснуть трех человек когда партия сказала "надо!".
