The design of the ship was improved in comparison with the three seat Voskhod-1: one of the seats was removed; and a sunroof and airlock were installed in its place.
Voskhod-2 launched on 18 March 1965 at 10:00 Moscow time from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. The spacewalk experiment was successful. In total, the сosmonaut spent 26 hours in orbit, and on 19 March at 12:02 they landed safely 70 kilometers outside Solikamsk, Russia.

The first spacewalk to service the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) could not have gone better. Lead spacewalker ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano is imaged here hitching a ride on the International Space Station’s 16-metre long robotic arm to kick off the first of four ventures to service the particle physics detector on 15 November.
