Description

Vintage Russian-built scale model representing the Vostok 5 and 6 spacecraft in orbit over the Soviet Union, with each capsule measuring 3.5″ long. The polished aluminum spacecraft models are attached to metal stands, arcing over a wooden half-dome with carved "CCCP" emblem. In fine condition, with some minor tarnishing and a couple antennas slightly bent. The joint Vostok 5 and Vostok 6 missions, conducted in June 1963, established radio contact between two spacecraft and saw the historic first flight of a woman—Valentina Tereshkova.
