Human Spaceflight Timeline: Yuri Gagarin
April 12, 1961 was a turning point for the human race. On that day Yuri Gagarin became the first person to orbit Earth. Gagarin was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in what was then the Soviet Union. After 108 minutes of flight, Gagarin reentered the Earth▓s atmosphere and landed in the Saratov region of the Soviet Union.
Vostok 1 was the name of the craft that Gagarin rode into orbit. The ship had two separate sections, a sphere for Gagarin and another area for life support equipment. Once in orbit, Gagarin had no control over the ship. All control of the spacecraft was handled by a computer sending radio commands.
When the spacecraft reentered the atmosphere retro-rockets were fired to slow the descent. Additionally, explosive bolts were fired to separate the two parts of the spacecraft. Unlike the early U.S. manned missions, the Soviet craft did not land in water but on land.
Gagarin initially joined the Soviet Air Force in 1955. By 1959 he had begun cosmonaut training for his journey into space. Gagarin died tragically in an air accident in 1968. He is considered a Russian hero and will always be remembered for the first human orbit of the Earth.
