The beginning of career. After graduating from the Orenburg Aviation School with top honors in November 1957, Gagarin was sent on some missions. However, while Gagarin enjoyed being a fighter pilot, what he really wanted to do was to go to space. Since he had been following the Soviet Union's progress in space flight, he was confident that soon they would be sending a man into space. He wanted to be that man; so he volunteered to be a cosmonaut. On 5 November 1957 Gagarin became a Lieutenant. In 1959 his rank was Senior Lieutenant.

Dreaming of the space In 1960 the 20 pilots including Gagarin were chosen for the Soviet space program. He was chosen for an elite training group. All the pilots were tested for both psychological and physical staying power.

Слайд 10

At the end of the test program Gherman Titov and Yuri Gagarin were selected because their results were the best. Moreover, physical characteristics of these cosmonauts were the most appropriate. They both weren’t tall. Gagarin’s height was 1.57 metres .

Launch of Vostok 1 On April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin boarded Vostok 1 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome . Although he was fully trained for the mission, no one knew if it was going to be a success or a failure.

Слайд 12

Gagarin was to be the very first human being in space, truly going where no man had gone before. Minutes before the launch, Gagarin gave a speech. Vostok 1, with Yuri Gagarin inside, launched on schedule at 9:07 a.m. Moscow Time. Just after lift off, Gagarin reputedly called out, " Poyekhali !“ ("Off we go!")

Слайд 13

After entering space, Gagarin completed a singleorbit around Earth. The Vostok 1's top speed reached 28,260 kph (about 17,600 mph). At the end of the orbit, Vostok 1 reentered the Earth's atmosphere. When Vostok 1 was still about 7 km (4.35 miles) from the ground, Gagarin ejected (as planned) from the spacecraft and used a parachute to land safely.

Слайд 14

From launch (at 9:07 a.m.) to Vostok 1 touching down on the ground (10:55 a.m.) was 108 minutes, a number often used to describe this mission. Gagarin landed safely with his parachute about ten minutes after Vostok 1. Right before Gagarin landed (near the village of Uzmoriye , near the Volga River), a local farmer and her daughter spotted Gagarin floating down with his parachute. Once on the ground, Gagarin, dressed in an orange spacesuit and wearing a large white helmet, terrified the two women. It took Gagarin a few minutes to convince them that he too was Russian and to direct him to the nearest phone.

Слайд 15

His death. On 27 March 1968 Yuri Gagarin and Vladimir Seryogin died in a MiG-15 crash. The incident was near Kirzhach . The Cosmo- naut Training Centre outside Moscow and the adjacent town of Gzhatsk were named in his honour . Yuri Gagarin was only 34 years old.
