This is alist of the human spaceflight missions conducted by theSoviet space program. These missions belong to theVostok,Voskhod, andSoyuz space programs.
The first patch from the Soviet Space Program was worn byValentina Tereshkova,[1] then the same patch for theVoskhod 2,Soyuz 4/5 andSoyuz 11,[2]Soyuz 3 had an official insignia that wasn't worn during the flight,[3] and then in theApollo–Soyuz program.
