Beta version 100702 of the Voskhod ProgramThis is a beta version and is still in the developement stage therefore bugs etc. may exist.
Historical Background Info:
 After the Vostok program came to a close, the Soviet Union
wanted to continue its space program and too this end was constructing the Soyuz
spacecraft which is still in use today. Unfortunately, the Soyuz
would not be ready until 1965 or 1966 and the U.S. was already working
on the Gemini program. To stay ahead of the Americans, the Russians
modified a Vostok capsule so that it could carry three people. The
modified spacecraft would be able to stay in orbit longer and on its
second flight an airlock was attached to facilitate the first ever EVA.
A backup retro engine was also added so that the primary engine could
be used to make orbit changes and the craft would still have enough
fuel to deorbit. To facillitate the extra weight, the second stage
of the Vostok rocket was lengthened. The Voskhod spacecraft only
flew two manned flights but future missions were planned.

Credits:
 This addon is based on Jekka's Vostok addon but does not include any of
 his actual files so his addon is required to run this addon.
 Almost all of the files in this addon are based on his files and because
 of that the meshes, textures etc. look much better than they would have
 otherwise.
