Yuri Gagarin is an unforgettable name in the history of a human spaceship. For the first time, he had left the space in space. The Russian space station, which started the horrific competition between the United States and Russians, was followed by one after another, trying to run an aerospace mission, which resulted in people moving on the moon, making billions of dollars worth of space stations.

On April 12, 196, Yuri Gagarin passed Vostok-1, a space station. In Russian time, at 6:07 in the morning he travels the space station. For the first time, it was able to break the barrier of the world's attraction. Then it surrounded the Earth in a fixed orbit and once again entered the Earth's atmosphere. The luck of the Russians, the spacecraft that came down successfully on the earth.

This is the story of Gagarin's travels to the spaceship. However, there are many hidden and interesting facts in the story of Gagarin's travels to the spaceship. If you don't want know about this, the story of this space story will be incomplete. Specifically, you have to know who was the person of Yuri Gagarin, or why there was no spacecraft to take a spacecraft before the Vostak-11. So let's know about story of the first human of spaceflight.

The entire mission of Yuri Gagarin was only 108 minutes. That was very little time as of now. But if I try to discuss the technology in 1961, may not be finished it in the entire article. In fact, other countries, even the United States also ignore the barriers of gravity, they couldn't able to discover any technology beyond the boundaries of the world.

The original mission lasted just 108 minutes and this mission takes less than an hour and a half to trip around the earth. Because the velocity of the spacecraft was fierce. Vostok-1's speed was around 17,500 miles per hour most of the time around the globe. During this time, Vostok-1 has turned around a 'round circle' and has reached a height of 203 miles. Then, when the speed decreases, it actually reaches the Earth's boundaries.

To trip once around the Earth, the Vostok-1 has minimum mandatory speed was 17,500 miles per hour to reach. This means the spacecraft has to travel 5 miles per second. It is necessary to have such a strong velocity to break the boundaries of gravity and move around the earth but at that time there was no powerful rocket.

In preparation for this mission, the technology used in the spacecraft was primarily tested. A prototype of Gagarin's craft Vostok-3 KA-2 was made by a man named Ivan Ivanovich, and a dog called Zvezdochka and they completed one low-Earth orbit. After the mission was successful, the Russians started taking full preparation for the Vostok-1 mission. In 1993, at an auction held at Sotheby's, Iain Ivanovich named Dummy was sold for $ 1,89,500.

When Yuri Gagarin flew into space, he was 27 years old. He was born on March 9, 1934, in a village called Klushino, near Gzhatsk, Russia. Like the others in World War II, her family had to go through impossible troubles. A German officer occupied their house. As a result, they had to live in an earthen house for almost 1 year and 9 months. In 1943, the Nazis took his two brothers as slaves. They were released at the end of the war. Later, in 1946, the Gagarin family returned to Gzhatsk again.

It is known that from his childhood, Yuri had dreamed of asteroids. However, like his childhood, people do not seem to think about the spacecraft. It is normal to spread such fiction about the successful. When it was considered to be the condition of the time, it seems that he had no dreams of being aeronaut but without aerospace. In that sequence, Lucente studied in a vocational school for years and learned to do manual work. Then get the opportunity to study at a technical high school in Saratov. While studying there, he was trained to fly in the hobby.

In 1955, after completing his studies in a technical school, Yuri was admitted to Orenburg's Air Force Pilot's School. There he trained on the operation of the firefighters. There he acquaintance with Valentina Tereshkova. After, in 1957, there were many big events in his life. Firstly, he received the Yuri Wing MiG-15 airfare. And that year she was married to Valentina.

Then he was assigned to the Luostari airbase close to the Norwegian border in Murmansk Oblast. The air raid was quite risky to run this area for the weather. Yuri introduces great heroism in his own work. As a result, on 5 November 1957, Yuri Gagarin won Lieutenant in the Soviet Air Force.

Two years later, on 6 November 1959, he was promoted to the rank of senior lieutenant. In the following year, in 1960, more 19 pilots were initially selected for space exploration. From this, Yuri Gagarin and Gherman Titov are selected in the second phase. The reason behind this, their height was not so high, they were elected not long, rather than comparatively shorter than others. Yuri's height was 5 feet 2 inches. At the same time, he was selected as the first astronaut with memory, physical power and so on. Moreover, among the first 20 selected candidates, Yuri became quite popular. A vote was made that these 20 people who seem to be most eligible for aerospace. Of these 17 votes were in favor of Yuri Gagarin.

Vostok-1 was originally a spherical capsule. The spacecraft that is now commonly made, has a specific eye on the spacecraft. To get rid of gravity, this head has to undergo a lot of pressure. The advantage of spherical spacecraft is that it has no specific center of gravity. When it goes back, the gravitational pressure will spread throughout the surface. As a result, the spacecraft does not have to undergo much pressure at any one point. That's why Vostok-1 was able to run the necessary speed. And the only internal passenger was quite comfortable all through the journey.

Many people are thinking, why the spacecraft is not designed or made this way? The spherical problem is that it is very inescapable when it comes back. Moreover, there are thrusters to come back to the current spacecraft. When the vehicle moves closer to the surface, the thruster is turned on, and the force applied to the top. As a result, the speed of the spacecraft gradually decreases and the boat can go safely. But there was no such thruster in Vostok-1. As a result, the only way Gagarin was to go 4 miles above the surface of the earth is to leave Vostok-1 with the parachute. Gagarin did the same.

But it was important for successful passengers to get off on the spacecraft, successfully being considered as the "first manned successful aerospace mission". As a result, the Russians had hidden this information at their official press conference. After this rule was relaxed with the passenger coming later, Russia later revealed the truth.

The Vostok-1 launcher is still in the launch pad. This Launchpad has been named Gagarin's Start in honor of Yuri Gagarin in Baikonur Cosmodrome. Earlier, the first artificial satellite Sputnik 1 was launched from the same launch pad.

Although the Federal Space Agency is in charge, this Cosmodrome or Space Launch Center is actually located in Kazakhstan. During the Cold War, this country was a part of Russia. However, now Kazakhstan is an independent state. The Russian government is still launching the spacecraft from here. Even in July and September this year, the Gagarin's start" of two spaceships wanted to scheduled from the launch pad. However, due to the lack of funding, the journey of both the spacecraft has been canceled.

Even after returning from space, Yuri's had a dream, the second time to travel in space. But being incredibly famous, he became so much valued for Russia that the Russians were not willing to take another risk of sending him to another spacecraft.

At this time, Yuri Gagarin joined the Star City Astronaut Training Center as assistant director. Along with that, the fighter started work as a pilot again. He was also promoted in the air force. On 6 November 1963, Yuri was awarded the Colonel of the Air Force. Later, in 1968, the Russian government agreed to send him to space. Still, the mission did not determine anything. The fate of irony! Yuri Gagarin, who died in a plane crash during a normal routine training flight The day was March 27, 1968.
