Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin (Russian: ÑÌÑÐ¸Ð¹ Ð°Ð»ÐµÐºÑÐµÌÐµÐ²Ð¸Ñ Ð³Ð°Ð³Ð°ÌÑÐ¸Ð½; IPA: [ËjÊrÊ²Éªj ÉlÊ²ÉªËksÊ²ejÉªvÊ²ÉªtÉ É¡ÉËÉ¡arÊ²Éªn]; 9 March 1934 â 27 March 1968) was a Russian Soviet pilot and cosmonaut. He was the first human to journey into outer space, when his Vostok spacecraft completed an orbit of the Earth on 12 April 1961.
Riding on the Soviet Vostok 1, Yuri Gagarin becomes the first man in space. In case spaceflight caused Gagarin to behave strangely, the craft's controls were locked. There was a key onboard in a sealed envelope in case of emergency. Vostok 1 shook wildly during entry, but Gagarin did not use the key.
