Earth Pre-Federation Database - Vostok (Spacecraft)


History:
The Vostok was a type of spacecraft built by the Soviet Union. The first human spaceflight in history was accomplished on this spacecraft on April 12, 1961, by Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin.
The spacecraft was part of the Vostok programme in which six manned spaceflights were made from 1961 to 1963. Two further manned space flights were made in 1964 and 1965 by Voskhod spacecraft, which were modified Vostok spacecraft. By the late 1960's both were superseded by the Soyuz spacecraft, which are still used as of 2011.

An image depicting Vostok was contained in the library computer aboard the USS Enterprise. This data was flashed on a viewscreen when the Talosians scanned the Enterprise computer in 2254.
