Overview
Voskhod 1 was the first three-person human spaceflight, the first flight on which spacesuits were not used, and marked the first time an engineer and a physician travelled to space. It was the first of only two Voskhod program flights. The crew performed biomedical experiments and studied how a team could work together in space. The flight landed after a day in orbit. This was the first Soviet spaceflight where the crew landed inside the capsule instead of ejecting and parachuting to the ground.

Voskhod
Voskhod was the second Soviet human space program. It used a modified Vostok spacecraft to allow two or three people to fly at the same time. However, the design proved largely unusable, and the program was canceled after just five months and two missions.
