The problem is that the mission is supposed to take place in 1963, while I was under the impression that Soyuz first flew in 1966. Would it really be the Soyuz LV, or would it have more than likely be the Voskhod LV?There were small differences between the Soyuz and Voskhod launchers, mostly involving the engines. The Soyuz 3rd stage used an RD-110 engine, same as the current Soyuz-U/FG launchers, whereas Voskhod used the older RD-107 engine. Voskhod could not have launched a Soyuz spacecraft.The engine on the upper stage was the RD-0108, a Kosberg design bureau engine. The RD-107 was (and is) used on the four boosters which constitute the first stage of Soyuz. The RD-108 is used on the core stage of Soyuz (second stage in Russian terminology). The RD-107 and RD-108 are from Glushko's design bureau.Murray AndersonOpps, the Voshkod 3rd stage engine was RD-0107, and the Soyuz 3rd stage was and is RD-0110.

Soyuz 4/5 question:Given that the hatch on the Soyuz orbital module seems to be bolted on by technicians on the ground, how did the cosmonauts open the hatch for their EVA? Was the hatch specially modified for the EVA, or was the hatch for all of the early Soyuzes designed for EVAs?

Soyuz 4/5 question:[SNIP]
The OM also has a docking/transfer hatch and a crew entry/exit hatch that serves as an EVA hatch. Both crew hatches are inward opening and pressure sealed.
From the 2010 NASA "Worldwide Spacecraft Crew Hatch History" document, NASA/TP–2010–216131.

[Snipped all earlier quotes]It would not help much, if you don't have EVA suits on board. AFAIK Soyuz spacecraft do not routinely carry Orlan suits on board.
In NK n°334 (2010-11), there is a list of all launches of the early warning program, but Cosmos 1940 is not in the list.Is it a mistake, or is there a point that I didn't understand ?

Do you know how to translate "построитель местной вертикали"?
