On April 12, 1961, the first Spacecut-satellite Satellite in the world with a man on board was bred in orbit. Yuri Gagarin was in flight of 108 minutes, during which time the ship made one turn around the earth. An event that can be described in one sentence changed the world, made humanity to join and confidently walk into the future.
For 60 years, which passed from the first flight, many discoveries have been made, great results are achieved in the study and development of space. The continuents of the glorious traditions of domestic cosmonautics are becoming more, but every year on April 12, we are grateful to think about those who stood at her origins. Pride for the compatriot, who opened the road to the stars, covers representatives of all generations: from witnesses of that historical event to the current schoolchildren.
Twice Hero of the Soviet Union, Boris Volynovich Volynov, pilot-cosmonaut, which began to prepare for flights along with Yuri Gagarin as part of the first squad, remember well on April 12, 1961.
