Vostok Spacecraft

More Vostok rocket photography.


These photos were made at Moscow's VDNKh facility in August 2014 on a sunny and warm day with some nice clouds.


The Vostok spacecraft is based on the R-7 ICBM family and was used to launch a number of sputniks (as in satellites) into space as well the first ever manned space expedition by Yuri Gagarin.


This is supposed to be a functional double of the real thing, not a mock-up as I thought earlier.
