'Orient 3' or 'East 3') and Vostok 4 (Восток-4, 'Orient 4' or 'East 4') were Soviet space program flights in August 1962, intended to determine the ability of the human body to function in conditions of weightlessness, test the ground control capability to launch and manage two separate, concurrent flights, and test the endurance of the ...

Vostok 3 set a new time record in space of 94 hours and traveled more than 1,600,000 miles (2,560,000 km) in Earth orbit. The final two missions in the Vostok series included the participation of the first woman cosmonaut.

The Vostok-3 mission lasted 94 hours and Vostok-4 spent 71 hours in flight. The Soviet manned space flight record exceeded the America's only three-orbit mission by 60 orbits!

The Vostok 3KA was the spacecraft used for the first human spaceflights. They were launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome using Vostok 8K72K launch vehicles. The first flight of a Vostok 3KA occurred on March 9, 1961.

5 days ago · Vostok 3, the third spacecraft in the USSR's manned flight series, was piloted by cosmonaut Andriyan G. Nikolayev. The spacecraft consisted of a nearly spherical cabin covered with ablative material. There were three small portholes and external radio antennas.

Vostok 3 studied man's ability to function under conditions of weightlessness; conducted scientific observations; furthered improvement of space ship systems, communications, guidance and landing. Immediately at orbital insertion of Vostok 4, the spacecraft were less than 5 km apart. Popovich made radio contact with Cosmonaut Nikolayev.

Aug 15, 2017 · His Vostok 3 ("Falcon") was in space for a full day before his spaecebound comrade, 32-year old Ukrainian Lt. Col. Pavel Popovich blasted off in Vostok 4 ("Golden Eagle"), morning of August 12.

Vostok 3 and Vostok 4 landed within 15 minutes and 193 km of each other. Nikolayev unstrapped himself and floated free in his small capsule, the first person to do so. He did not suffer any space sickness during his flight.
