Preparations for launch of Soviet Union Voshkhod-2 spacecraft from Baikonur spaceport, during 1960s "space race" between Soviet Union and the United States. Voshkod 2 of R-7 family of rockets seen on a rail car. The rail car pulls up with spacecraft and rocket is loaded onto gantry. The space craft and the launch vehicle are erected. View of cosmonaut as he ascends stairs, enters an elevator and prepares for flight. A fiery flare emerges as the spacecraft is launched. (Note: Image of spacecraft during initial ascent appears to show a Vostok 3KA launcher, or Vostok-K, like that in which Yuri Gagarin was launched; not the Voskhod variant that carried Alexey Leonov and Pavel Belyayev.) Views of ignition and launch of spacecraft; view of it ascending. Next scene shows Soviet cosmonaut Alexey Leonov conducting the first spacewalk by an astronaut, on March 18, 1965. Final scene shows Soviet cosmonauts at an award and recognition ceremony in Moscow on March 23, 1965. Leonov and Belyayev walk side by side on a red carpet toward a reviewing stand of Russian officials. They ascend stairs of platform and salute the Russian leaders.
