Mstislav V. Keldysh President of the U.S.S.R, Academy of Sciences, commented on the VOSKHOD II flight in an article in Izvestia: "One of the most significant accomplishments in the conquest of space was the experiment dealing with man's emergence into space, New, grandiose perspectives are now open for the construction of orbital stations, the docking of spacecraft in orbit and the carrying out of astronomical and geophysical investigations in space, In the near future it will be possible to create, in orbit around the earth, a Space Scientific Research Institute in which scientists representing the most diversified fields will be able to work. The results obtained as a result of the flight of `Voskhod-2' are most important steps on the way toward carrying out flights to the moon and on to other celestial bodies." (Izvestia, 3/27/65, 5, ATSS-T Trans. )
