1961: Vostok 2 (USSR)

Vostok 2 was a Soviet space mission which carried cosmonaut Gherman Titov into orbit for a full day in order to study the effects of a more prolonged period of weightlessness on the human body. Unlike Yuri Gagarin on Vostok 1, Titov took manual control of the spacecraft for a short while. The flight was an almost complete success, marred only by a bout of space sickness, a malfunctioning heater that allowed the inside temperature to drop to 6.1°C, and a troublesome re-entry when the re-entry module failed to separate cleanly from its service module. The re-entry capsule was destroyed during development of the Voskhod spacecraft.
