3KA No. 4, Vostok-3A No. 4, with the public name Vostok-2, was launched in Aug 1961 with pilot German Stepanovich Titov. Titov completed the first spaceflight lasting more than one day, and landed near Gagarin's descent site next to the Volga. Titov was the first to eat and sleep in space; the first to take photographs from a spaceship. He was also the first victim of space motion sickness. The cabin temperature dropped by 4 degrees during the flight but otherwise the equipment worked well.
