Vostok (Russian: Восток, English: Orient or East) is a name used for both the rocket and the spacecraft in the beginning of the Soviet space program. Both were designed by the team led the Chief designer of the Soviet space program, Sergei Korolev and built by OKB-1 (Special Design Bureau number 1 of R&D Institute number 88) -now S.P. Korolev RSC Energia-.
After six missions, the spacecraft was replaced by the Voskhod but the rocket family evolved and met an end only in 1991.
This page lists all works that feature vehicles of the Vostok space program, such as the rocket or spacecraft.
