✮HAPPY COSMONAUTICS DAY!✮

63 years ago, on April 12th, Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin was the first human to journey into outer space abroad the crewed spaceflight Vostok-1

Getting to that point wasn't easy, though, and before Yuri was able to leave Earth many people and animals put in colossal effort to make that flight possible

Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and Sergei Korolyov were the founders of cosmonautics and made every device and vehicle launched into space a reality. In 1957 on November 3rd Laika became the first dog(and living being in general) in space, launched there in artificial satellite Sputnik-2. She died 3 hours after the takeoff, but still paved the way for everyone who traveled into outer space afterwards. In 1960 on August 19th Belka and Strelka were the next dogs to leave our planet and the first ones to make it back alive, bringing humanity even closer to traversing cosmos as well

Space is still as mysterious and distant as ever, but even the smallest baby steps towards exploring it wouldn't be possible without the contribution of such strong, brave and intelligent creatures

⋆ ★🌌С праздником!🌌★⋆

History of International Day for Human Space Flight

International Day for Human Space Flight takes place across the world on April 12. The day celebrates the first space flight and the first human being in space — the great Soviet cosmonaut, Yuri Gagarin. This historic event opened up experiences for humanity like never before. Following Gagarin’s flight to space, there was a renewed enthusiasm for the study of spaces and the cosmos. The day also celebrates humankind’s remarkable progress in building a sustainable relationship with space and using the knowledge for the betterment of every inhabitant of our planet. International Day for Human Space Flight is a celebration of scientific temperament.

History of International Day for Human Space Flight

On April 12, 1961, the world as we knew it changed forever. It was on this date that the first human space flight took off with Yuri Gagarin in it. What a remarkable day for human innovation and perseverance! This event was a pioneer in making the way for space exploration that would benefit all humanity. After Gagarin’s flight, the United Nations General Assembly realized that all of humankind shared a common interest in promoting and expanding the study and use of outer space.

But years before humans would make their way to space, on October 4, 1957, the first human-made satellite — Sputnik I — was launched into outer space. One can agree that this event opened the way for space exploration and possibly sowed seeds for human visits, too. On April 12, 1961, Gagarin became the first human to orbit the Earth — this was a remarkable achievement that occurred only a few years after humans began to study space using modern technology.

Years later, after Gagarin’s space trip, the UNGA described the trip as an “amazing history of human presence in outer space and the remarkable achievements since the first human spaceflight.” At this point, it must be noted that only two years later, the Soviet Union sent Valentina Tereshkova into space, thus making her the first woman to orbit the Earth. Only seven years from then, Neil Armstrong became the first human to land upon the surface of the moon in July 1969. And in July 1975, the U.S. and the Soviet Union launched the first international human mission in space — docking the Apollo and Soyuz spacecraft together. In only a span of 15 years, humankind made progress in space exploration unlike ever before.

5 Facts About Space That Will Blow Your Mind

The hottest planet in our solar system

Spacesuits are expensive

One day on Venus

Footprints on the moon will last forever

Saturn can float in water

Mercury is the hottest planet — the temperatures may rise to 842 degrees Fahrenheit.

A NASA spacesuit is priced at $12,000,000.

One day on the planet is longer than one year — Venus takes 243 Earth days to complete one rotation.

That’s because there’s no water, wind, or weather to disturb it.

That’s because water is denser than Saturn.

Why We Love International Day for Human Space Flight

SPACECRAFT VOSTOK-1 SCALE MODEL 1:1

OKB-1 (S.P. KOROLEV ROCKET AND SPACE CORPORATION ENERGIA) DESIGNER: S.P. KOROLEV BEGINNING OF DEVELOPMENT: FEBRUARY 1958 THE FIRST MANNED SPACECRAFT

On April 12, 1961, Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin completed the world's first space flight onboard the Vostok-1. In total, six manned launches of spacecraft of this series were completed, all of which were successful. During the flights, the effects of weightlessness on the state and performance of the human body were studied, spacecraft design principles were tested and structures and systems were perfected. The habitable size of the Vostok is only 1.6 cubic meters. Valery Bykovsky spent the most time in the confined space of the spacecraft. His flight on the Vostok-5 lasted 4 days 22 hours and 56 minutes
