Mission Highlights: The Soviet firsts continued with this flight. Voskhod 2 had an inflatable airlock installed and Leonov made the world's first extra-vehicular activity (EVA) -- a 24-minute space walk. Because of reentry system malfunctions, the spacecraft landed far from the planned landing area in a heavy pine forest. The crew was not recovered until the following day.
