President #Putin on Yuri #Gagarin’s flight: At that time – on April 12, 1961 – this grandiose event certainly changed the world. It ushered in a new space age, an era of #SpaceExploration. We will always take pride in the fact that it was our country that paved the way to the Universe and, as I have already said, that our compatriot became a trailblazer on this great path.
Our duty is not just to cherish the memory of the generation of space conquerors and to respect the courage of the cosmonauts who explored the unknown despite the risks, those who created unique space systems and technology and prepared crews for work in the orbit. Our duty is not just to remember those who created and consolidated our space potential. Our duty also lies in striving today to match the level of the space trailblazers in our current work in the rocket and space industry.

Russia’s ‘Nauka’ module docked with the International Space Station on 29 July 2021. According to the Khrunichev research and production centre, it has a service life through 2027 with the option of extending it until 2030.
Shortly after the arrival, the new module’s thrusters turned on and rotated the station’s normal orientation by 45 degrees, but attitude control was quickly restored with the help of Russian ‘Zvezda’ service module.

🚀 A Russian Soyuz 2.1a rocket carrying the Progress MS-26 cargo spacecraft, which will deliver more than 2.5 tonnes worth of cargo to the International Space Station (ISS), blasted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome.
Nine minutes after the liftoff, the rocket put the spacecraft into Earth orbit, and the Progress spacecraft separated from the rocket's third stage and began its independent flight to the ISS.
🇷🇺 new space freighter will fly the traditional two-day route and is scheduled to dock the station on February 17 at 9:12 a.m. Moscow time (06:12 GMT). The spacecraft will spend a total of 180 days in space.
🛰 The space freighter inter alia carries consumables for the new scientific experiment dubbed "Fullerene" to grow fullerite crystals in the Nauka module — the third crystalline form of carbon, which is a new class of semiconductors.
Progress MS-26 will also carry equipment for the new scientific experiment Orbita-MG to create a monitoring system that will find cracks and other leaks in the station's hull.

📆 56 years ago, on 27 March 1968, Yuri Gagarin, Earth’s first cosmonaut, Hero of the Soviet Union, died in a plane crash while test-piloting Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15.
🕯 He was only 34 when his life found a tragic end.
According to his friends, Yuri was not affected by his worldwide fame and remained as everyone knew him before the historic space flight – modest and kind to the people around him. He dearly loved his wife, Valentina, and his daughters.
🌐 Yuri Gagarin’s memory is cherished all over the world, with numerous monuments erected, streets, vessels and planes named after him.
🌠 Since 2000, “Yuri's Night”, an international celebration, is held annually to commemorate milestones in space exploration.
🇿🇦 In South Africa’s Hermanus, Western Cape, Yuri Gagarin’s bust was unveiled in November 2020 on South African National Space Agency’s site.

🚀 On April 12, 1961, at 09:07 Moscow time, the Vostok-1 spacecraft with pilot-cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin on board blasted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, marking the beginning of the space age in the history of mankind.
✍️ Spacecraft designer Sergei Korolev, who ran the launch of Vostok-1 into outer space, said “I hope he goes there and returns alive” after start.
🌍 Vostok-1 climbed to an altitude of 302 km, once orbited the Earth and successfully came back down. Y.Gagarin parachuted to the ground separately from his capsule in Saratov region of Russia. The first spaceflight lasted only 108 minutes but it marked the beginning of a new chapter of human endeavour in outer space.
💬 FM Sergey Lavrov: For billions of people around the world, Yuri Gagarin continues to serve as an example of heroism and selflessness, inspiring them to overcome any obstacles in pursuit of the most ambitious and noble goals (Minister's video message on the occasion of the 60th Anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's space flight).
🌟 Gagarin's flight embodied the triumph of Soviet science and technology and was of crucial importance for further development of space exploration and the mankind.
Having declared 1️⃣2️⃣ April as the International Day of Human Space Flight, the UN General Assembly expressed its deep conviction of the common interest of mankind in promoting and expanding the exploration and further use of outer space for peaceful purposes.

📆#OTD in 1963, Valentina Tereshkova of USSR became the world’s first and youngest woman to travel into outer space with a solo mission.
🧑🚀The decision to select women for female cosmonauts group was taken in 1961. Having passed a number of rigid tests, V.Tereshkova was enrolled in the group. She embarked on her space flight onboard the Vostok-6 spacecraft. Her call sign in this flight was “Tchaika” (Russian for “seagull”).
⏳ She orbited the Earth 48 times and spent 2 days, 22 hours, and 50 mins in space. Her mission was used to continue the medical studies on humans in spaceflight and offered comparative data of the effects of space travel on women.
The next woman’s spaceflight took place only 19 years later with the second female cosmonaut also being Soviet citizen Svetlana Savitskaya.
