Summary:The launching of three astronauts in one capsule was the main Soviet space achievement to be reported during the year. There was a big reception for the three men when they returned to Moscow after their flight in October. The three men - a pilot, a scientist and a doctor, all married men with families - had been in orbit just twenty-four hours.
