About this launch
Voskhod 1 was the seventh manned Soviet space flight(Commander-Vladimir Komarov, Engineer Konstantin Feoktistov, and Medical Doctor Boris Yegorov) . It achieved a number of "firsts" in the history of manned spaceflight, being the first space flight to carry more than one crewman into orbit, the first flight without the use of spacesuits, and the first to carry either an engineer or a physician into outer space. It also set a manned spacecraft altitude record of 336 km (209 mi).
