The Voskhod rocket (, "ascent", "dawn") was a derivative of the SovietR-7ICBM designed for the human spaceflightprogramme but later used for launching Zenitreconnaissance satellites. It consisted of the Molniya 8K78M third stage minus the Blok L. In 1966, all R-7 variants were equipped with the uprated core stage and strap-ons of the Soyuz 11A511.
