Kosmos 47 (Russian: Космос 47 meaning Cosmos 47) is the designation of an unmanned test-flight of a prototype Soviet Voskhod spacecraft,[1] the first multiple-occupant spacecraft. Launched on the 6 October 1964, the successful flight paved the way for the first manned mission, Voskhod 1, which occurred just 6 days later on the 12 October.

The spacecraft was one of many designated under the Kosmos system, which is applied to a wide variety of spacecraft of different designs and functions including test flights of manned vehicles.
