Vostok 1 heat insulation. Close-up of the exterior insulation and cladding around the entrance to the Vostok 1 spacecraft. Vostok 1 was the first spacecraft to take a human,Yuri Gagarin (1934-1968),into space. Vostok 1 launched from Baikonur in Kazakhstan,and took 1 hour and 48 minutes to circle the Earth. After re-entry the descent module separated from the rest of the spacecraft. Gagarin ejected 7 kilometres up,parachuting safely to the ground. The descent module also deployed a parachute,but hit the ground hard enough to create an impact crater | |
