Vostok 8K72K Rocket

The Vostok 8K72K rocket displayed at VDNKh.


I think I recorded it once on this blog already but these are different pictures and they are from April 2016.


The Vostok 8K72K was a rocket derived from the Soviet R-7 Semyorka ICBM designed for the human spaceflight programme.


This and similar rockets launched the first artificial satellite (Sputnik 1) and the first manned spacecraft (Vostok) in human history.


Here it is seen at the VDNKh exhibition center in April 2016.
