Yuri Gagarin

• Yuri Alekseyev ich Gagarin[a] (9 March 1934 – 27 March 1968)

was a Soviet pilot and cosmonaut who became the first human to
journey into outer space. Travelling in the Vostok 1 capsule,
Gagarin completed one orbit of Earth on 12 April 1961. By
achieving this major milestone in the Space Race he became an
international celebrity, and was awarded many medals and titles,
including Hero of the Soviet Union, his nation's highest honour.
• Gagarin was born in the Russian village of Klushino, and in his
youth was a foundryman at a steel plant in Lyubertsy. He later
joined the Soviet Air Forces as a pilot and was stationed at the 
Luostari Air Base, near the Norwegian border, before his selection
for the Soviet space programme with five other cosmonauts.
Following his spaceflight, Gagarin became deputy training director
of the Cosmonaut Training Centre, which was later named after
him. He was also elected as a deputy of the Soviet of the Union in
1962 and then to the Soviet of Nationalities, respectively the lower
 and upper chambers of the Supreme Soviet.
