    The 1961 Vostok spacecraft carried a cosmonaut in a spherical descent capsule covered with a heat shield, with oxygen and nitrogen tanks, ejection seat rockets, antennas, and a retro engine for reentry. It used an optical navigation system to align with the Earth's horizon and jettisoned an instrument module before atmospheric entry.
