Vostok 5 (Russian: Восток-5 Orient 5 or East 5) was a joint mission of the Soviet space program together with Vostok 6; as with the previous pair of Vostok 3 and Vostok 4 the two Vostok spacecraft came close to one another in orbit and established a radio link.Cosmonaut Valery Bykovsky was originally intended to stay in orbit for eight days but the mission details changed many times due to elevated levels of solar flare activity at the time and he was eventually ordered back after five days.
