The first human spaceflights of the Soviet Union: the Vostok program, which launched the first person into space in 1961 and the first woman in 1963, and the Voskhod program, which flew the first multi-person crews. A mission belongs here when its cited article names Vostok or Voskhod. Members are placed here from their own cited Wikipedia articles, each with a verbatim supporting quotation, so a reader can check why an entry sits in this group. The grouping forms part of the browse path for this section of the atlas.
