After the flight of Vostok 6, Yorkina worked on the Voskhod 2 mission in 1965 which included the first spacewalk. She was appointed afterwards as backup commander for the Voskhod 4 mission. This was a 20-day single man mission which studied long term weightlessness with various experiments.
Orbiter was developed as a simulator, [14] with accurately modeled planetary motion, gravitation effects (including non-spherical gravity), free space, atmospheric flight and orbital decay. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] The position of the planets in the solar system is calculated by the VSOP87 solution, while the Earth-Moon system is simulated by the ELP2000 ...
