The first astronaut
Since ancient times people have been
dreaming about space. They looked at the
sky and wondered what was happening
there. They knew nothing about it but they
wanted to learn. Yuri Gagarin gave the
mankind this opportunity. After his flight
people first saw our planet.

Gagarin’s childhood
Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin was
the first human in space. He was
born in the village of Klushino near
Smolensk, on 9 March, 1934. His
parents were working on the farm.
Gagarin grew up helping them with
their work.
After the war, Gagarin went to
vocational school in Moscow; his
favorite subjects were physics and
mathematics. In 1955 he joined a
local flying club. While studying
flying, he learned parachuting, a
skill that would later save his life
when it was time for him to eject
from the Vostok 1 capsule upon its
re-entry. Then he joined the Soviet
Air Force and went to Orenburg
Aviation School where he learned to
fly MIGs.

Career
In 1960, after the search and selection
process, Yuri Gagarin was picked out with 19
other cosmonauts for the Soviet space program.
As a full-grown man, Gagarin was 1.57 metres
tall, which was an advantage in the small
Vostok cockpit.
Senior Lieutenant Gagarin made history
on April 12, 1961, when a converted ballistic
missile propelled his Vostok capsule into Earth
orbit from the Baikonur Cosmodrome.
The Vostok was controlled automatically,
and Gagarin spent his time reporting
observations of the Earth and his own
condition. He commented on the beauty of the
earth from space and on how pleasant
weightlessness felt.
Gagarin rode his spacecraft for 108
minutes. The cosmonaut and capsule landed
safely near the banks of the Volga River.
He always wanted to venture back to
space. On March 27, 1968, he took off for a
routine flight in a two-seater MIG-15 trainer.
He and his instructor became engaged in lowlevel maneuvers with two other jets. That day
he was killed in air crash. He was 34.

His character
Yuri Gagarin visited 30
countries. Everywhere he was given
a fantastic welcomed as a respected,
loved person. He was the same
modest man with workers or
generals, with employees or with
kings and prime ministers.
His life was simple like
thousands of others: schoolboy,
vocational school student, fighter
pilot, husband, father of two
children. He loved the outdoors and
enjoyed swimming, fishing,
camping, hunting, and the company
of good friends. Yuri Gagarin liked
sport very much. As well as being a
keen ice hockey player, Gagarin was
also in on the Saratov Industrial
Technical School basketball team,
as well as being a referee.
