Yuri Gagarin was a Soviet cosmonaut who became the first human to travel into space.

Yuri Gagarin was born on March 9, 1934, in the village of Klushino, Russia. He joined the Soviet Air Force in 1955 and began his training as a pilot. Gagarin was selected as one of the first group of cosmonauts for the Soviet space program in 1960. He was chosen for his excellent piloting skills and physical fitness. Orbit Duration:

Yuri Gagarin's historic orbit on April 12, 1961 aboard Vostok 1, a spherical capsule with a diameter of approximately 2.3 meters (7.5 feet), lasted approximately 108 minutes. During this time, he completed one orbit around the Earth. Vostok 1 reached a maximum altitude of approximately 327 kilometers (203 miles) above the Earth's surface during the mission.

After completing his orbit, Vostok 1 re-entered Earth's atmosphere. The descent module containing Gagarin separated from the orbital module. Gagarin ejected from the descent module at an altitude of about 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) to ensure his safe landing. He then descended to Earth under a separate parachute.

The descent module of Vostok 1 was equipped with a specialized parachute system to ensure a safe landing for Yuri Gagarin. This system included both a main parachute and a reserve parachute to provide redundancy in case of any issues with the primary parachute. Yuri Gagarin's mission aboard Vostok 1 was a historic achievement that demonstrated the capabilities of human spaceflight. His successful journey into space and safe return to Earth made him an iconic figure in the history of space exploration.
