[edit] Mission highlights
This test Vostok spacecraft was the fifth and last in a series of spacecraft designed as precursors to manned space flight. It carried a dummy cosmonaut and the dog Zvezdochka ("little star"), as well as the television system and other scientific apparatus. After one orbit, a successful recovery was made.
[edit] Sputnik 11-25
A variety of Vostok, Voskhod, Kosmos and other classes of Soviet spacecraft were referred to as Sputniks by American observers, although none of these were actually named "Sputnik" by the Soviet Union. Sputnik 25, for example, was an attempted Luna probe.
