"Vostok 1" is the designation given to the orbital capsule that carried Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin into space. On April 12, 1961, Gagarin became the first human being in space, making a single orbit of the globe in 1 hour and 48 minutes. The spacecraft was designed by the Soviet rocket scientists Sergey Korolyov (Sergei Korolev) and Kerim Kerimov. The rocket carrying Vostok 1 was launched from the space center at Tyura-Tam (now Baikonur), in the Kazakhstan republic.
