Voskhod 1 (Ruby)
1964-065A
Spacecraft 3KV No. 3 was launched a week after the 3KV No. 2 flight test. The stripped down Vostok craft carried three men in underwear instead of one person in a spacesuit and ejector seat. The Korolev team thus beat NASA to the first multi-person space crew. Commander was Vladimir Komarov of the Air Force cosmonaut detachment; his crewmates were the first civilian cosmonauts. The Nauchniy Sotrudnik (Scientific Coworker) was Konstantin Feoktistov, one of Korolev's engineers, and the Vrach (Physician) was Boris Yegorov. The 3KV spacecraft was named Voskhod (Sunrise). The ship was launched aboard an 11A57 (Voskhod) launch vehicle, the first use of the Blok-I third stage for a piloted flight.
