TheVostok-L (Russian:Восток meaning"East"),GRAU index8K72 was a rocket used by theSoviet Union to conduct several early tests of theVostok spacecraft.

It was derived from theLuna rocket, with a slightly enlarged second stage to accommodate the larger payload.[2] and was a member of theVostok family of rockets.

Launches

[edit]

Four launches were conducted between 15 May and 1 December 1960 fromBaikonur LC-1/5, three of which successfully reached orbit.[3]

The first flight, on 15 May 1960, carried theKorabl-Sputnik 1 spacecraft. The second launched on 28 July, however one of the booster engines exploded during launch, causing the booster to separate prematurely, 19 seconds after launch. The rocket broke up 30 seconds after liftoff, killing the two dogs that were aboard the spacecraft.[2] The third flight successfully placedKorabl-Sputnik 2 into orbit on 19 August, whilst the fourth and final flight orbitedKorabl-Sputnik 3 on 1 December.

The Vostok-L was replaced by an uprated version, theVostok-K, which offered a greater payload capacity.
