Vostok 1, the first human spaceflight mission, launched on April 12, 1961, with Yuri Gagarin aboard. During its orbit around Earth, Vostok 1 traveled at an average speed of approximately 27,400 kilometers per hour (about 17,000 miles per hour). This velocity allowed it to complete one full orbit in around 108 minutes.
The first manned spacecraft was named Vostok 1. It was launched by the Soviet Union on April 12, 1961, with Yuri Gagarin becoming the first human to travel into space.
Gagarin's spacecraft was known as Vostok 3KA-2 (Vostok 1).
The first spacecraft built by humans was the Soviet Union's Vostok 1, which successfully launched on April 12, 1961. It carried astronaut Yuri Gagarin, who became the first human to travel into space and orbit the Earth. Prior to Vostok 1, there were several suborbital flights and uncrewed spacecraft, but Vostok 1 marked the beginning of human space exploration in orbit.
The name of Yuri Gagarin's spacecraft was Vostok 1.
