Vostok 1
Vostok 1 (Russian: was the first human spaceflight. Launched on April 12, 1961, Vostok 1 took the Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin into space, the first time anyone had ever journeyed beyond the Earth´s atmosphere and the first time anyone went into orbit.
Vostok 6
A joint flight with Vostok 5, Vostok 6 carried the first woman into space, cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova. (See also: List of firsts) This was to some degree a publicity exercise on the part of Soviet government. The chief designer for the Vostok program was Sergei Korolev, Data was collected on the female body´s reaction to spaceflight. Like other cosmonauts on Vostok missions, she maintained a flight log, took photographs, and manually oriented the spacecraft. Her photographs of the horizon from space were later used to identify aerosol layers within the atmosphere. The mission was originally conceived as being a joint mission with two Vostoks each carrying a female cosmonaut, but this changed as the Vostok program experienced cutbacks as a precursor to the retooling of the program into the Voskhod program. According to reports and rumors over the years, Tereshkova was reported to have experienced several physical problems during her flight, including space sickness and significant menstruation. Some reports also claim that at one point in the flight she had become hysterical and began crying uncontrollably until verbally scolded back to rationality by Sergei Korolev over the radio link. However, despite her problems, records and evidence both from before and after the fall of the Soviet Union contend that she completed the flight program as specified. It was revealed in 2004 that an error in the control program made the spaceship ascend from orbit instead of descending. Tereshkova noticed the fault on the first day of the flight and reported it to Sergey Korolev. The mistake was promptly repaired – Tereshkova entered the data that she got from the Earth into the descending program and landed safely. By request of Soviet spaceship designer Sergey Korolev, Tereshkova had kept secret for dozens of years. “I kept silent, but Evgeny Vasilievich decided to make it public. So, I can easily talk about it now,” The landing site was the Pavinskiy Collective Farm west of Bayevo in the Altai Region. After parachuting from the capsule, Tereshkova hardly missed the lake because of the violent wind. After the landing, the wind was blowing off her parachute, and Tereshkova had a big bruise on the nose before she managed to free herself from it. The re-entry capsule is now on display at the RKK Energia Museum in Korolyov (near Moscow). This was the final Vostok flight.
Apollo 11
Apollo 11 was the first manned mission to land on the Moon. It was the fifth human spaceflight of the Apollo program, and the third human voyage to the moon. Launched on July 16, 1969, it carried Commander Neil Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin ´Buzz´ Aldrin. On July 20, Armstrong and Aldrin became the first humans to land on the Moon, while Collins orbited above. The mission fulfilled President John F. Kennedy´s goal of "landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth" by the end of the 1960s. Many consider the landing one of the defining moments of the 20th century.
Progress 26 was docked to the station from April 26-May 5, 1986. Meanwhile the EO-1 crew prepared for the transfer to Salyut 7. The EO-1 crew loaded Soyuz T-15 with their personal belongings, plants grown on Mir, and other items, in case an abort meant they could not return to Mir. Salyut 7 was then about 4000 km ahead of Mir in a lower orbit. On May 4 Mir was lowered by 13 km to speed the approach to Salyut 7 and conserve Soyuz T-15's limited fuel supply for the transfer. Soyuz T-15 separated from Mir when Salyut 7 was 2500 km away on May 5. The crossing required 29 hr. The crew successfully docked with the inert Salyut 7 on May 6 and brought the station back to life. On May 28 the EO-1 crew climbed outside of Salyut 7 to retrieve space exposure experiments and test the Ferma-Postroital ("girder-constructor") device. A deployment canister converted a folded girder cartridge into a 15-m girder in only a few minutes. The girder was retracted by reversing the process at the end of the EVA. The EVA lasted 3 hr, 50 min.
Yuri Gagarin
Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin (Russian: Alekseevic Gagarin; March 9, 1934 – March 27, 1968), Hero of the Soviet Union, was a Soviet cosmonaut who in 1961 became the first man in space and the first human to orbit the Earth.
