EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Voskhod-1 capsule moments after its historic landing. The Voskhod-1 mission, launched on 12 October 1964, marked a significant milestone in space exploration. It became the first-ever spaceflight to carry more than one crew member and astonishingly, the cosmonauts embarked on this journey without wearing spacesuits. The charred exterior of the spacecraft bears witness to its incredible journey through the vastness of space. This remarkable feat also set a new height record, reaching an impressive altitude of 336km above Earth's surface. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to that monumental moment when Vladimir Komarov, Konstantin Feoktistov, and Boris Yegorov made history as they touched down safely on our planet once again. The horizontal position of the capsule signifies their triumphant return from their awe-inspiring sixteen orbits around Earth. Located at Baikonur Cosmodrome in Russia, this iconic mission symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond our earthly boundaries. It represents a pivotal chapter in the Russian manned space program during the mid-20th century. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this snapshot from an era where dreams merged with reality and propelled us into uncharted territories. As we admire this photograph print today, let us celebrate these courageous individuals who dared to venture into outer space and forever changed our understanding of what is possible for humankind.
