Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin was born on 9 March 1934 in the village of Klushino near Gzhatsk (now in Smolensk Oblast, Russia). His parents, Alexei Ivanovich Gagarin and Anna Timofeyevna Gagarina, worked on a collective farm. Yuri was the third of four children, and his elder sister helped raise him while his parents worked. After starting an apprenticeship in a metalworks as a foundryman, Gagarin was selected for further training at a technical high school in Saratov. While there, he joined the 'AeroClub', and learned to fly light aircraft, a hobby that would take up an increasing part of his time. In 1955, after completing his technical schooling, he entered flight training at the Orenburg Military Pilot's School. While there he met Valentina Goryacheva, whom he married in 1957, after gaining his pilot's wings in a MiG-15. After graduation, he was assigned to Luostari airbase in Murmansk Oblast. He became a lieutenant in the Soviet air force on 5 November 1957, and was promoted to senior lieutenant on 6 November 1959. After Soviet Union decided to launch a human being to space, a secret nationwide selection process was started in 1960 and Gagarin was chosen with 19 other pilots. Gagarin was further selected for an elite training group known as the 'Sochi Six', who would make up the the first cosmonauts of the Vostok programme. Gagarin and the other prospective cosmonauts were subjected to experiments designed to test physical and psychological endurance; he also underwent training for the upcoming flight. Out of the 20 selected, the eventual choices for the first launch were Gagarin and Gherman Titov, because of their performance in training, as well as their physical characteristics — space was at a premium in the small Vostok cockpit and both men were rather short. Gagarin was 1.57 metres tall. In August 1960, when Gagarin was one of 20 possible candidates, an air force doctor evaluated his personality as: "Modest; embarrasses when his humour gets a little too racy; high degree of intellectual development evident; fantastic memory; distinguishes himself from his colleagues by his sharp and far-ranging sense of attention to his surroundings; a well-developed imagination; quick reactions; persevering, prepares himself painstakingly for his activities and training exercises, handles celestial mechanics and mathematical formulae with ease as well as excels in higher mathematics; does not feel constrained when he has to defend his point of view if he considers himself right; appears that he understands life better than a lot of his friends." Gagarin was also a favoured candidate by his peers. When the 20 candidates were asked to anonymously vote for which other candidate they would like to see as the first to fly, all but three chose Gagarin. One of his colleagues, cosmonaut Yevgeni Khrunov, believed that Gagarin was very focused, and was demanding of himself and others when necessary. Gagarin kept physically fit throughout his life, and was a keen sportsman. Cosmonaut Valeri Bykovsky wrote: "Service in the air force made us strong, both physically and morally. All of us cosmonauts took up sports and PT seriously when we served in the air force. I know that Yuri Gagarin was fond of ice hockey. He liked to play goal keeper. I don't think I am wrong when I say that sports became a fixture in the life of the cosmonauts." Flight to space. In April 1961, Gagarin became the first human to travel into space, launching to orbit aboard the Vostok 3KA-3 (Vostok 1). After the flight, he became a global celebrity, touring widely to promote the Soviet achievement. In 1962, he began serving as a deputy to the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union. He later returned to the Star City training facility, where he spent some years working on designs for a reusable spacecraft. He was promoted to lieutenant-colonel in June 1962, and then to colonel in November 1963. Soviet officials tried to keep him away from flying aircraft, being worried of losing their hero in an accident. Gagarin had served as back-up pilot for Vladimir Komarov on Soyuz 1. When Komarov's flight ended in a fatal crash, Gagarin was ultimately banned from training for and participating in further spaceflights. Death in crash. On 27 March 1968, Gagarin took off with MiG-15UTI fighter with flight instructor Vladimir Seryogin for a routine training flight from Chkalovsky Air Base, but the flight ended tragically: their plane crashed near the town of Kirzhach. Gagarin was laid to rest in the wall of the Kremlin on Red Square. Celebrate Yuri's Night 2020 online with Bill Nye, astronauts and more tonight! This Saturday (April 11), 50 years after Apollo 13 launched to the moon, you can celebrate human spaceflight with a Yuri's Night livestream event. Yuri's Night events have been held annually since 2001 and were originally designed as a way to celebrate human spaceflight. The event is named after cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, who became the first human to go to space on April 12, 1961. Saturday's livestream begins at 7 p.m. EDT (2300 GMT/4 p.m. PDT) and you can watch it live here and on Space.com at the broadcast time. In addition to the main annual Yuri's Night event, including music, art, science and more, people also independently throw their own "Yuri's Nights" all around the world however they want in whatever location they want. However, while "there is no 'typical' Yuri's Night party," Tim Bailey, executive director of Yuri's Night, told Space.com in an email, this weekend will certainly be different from previous celebrations. "This year almost all local events have been canceled to help slow the spread of the coronavirus," he said. The closures also mean that the annual event will be livestreamed. But the online event will feature an all-star cast of scientists, artists and astronauts who will be participating in the event. Spaceflyers taking part include South Korean astronaut Soyeon Yi, Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield and retired NASA astronauts Nicole Stott and Scott Kelly, Bailey said, while other guests include celebrity science communicator Bill Nye, former rocket scientist and current CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA Sylvia Acevedo, founding member of the Grateful Dead Bob Weir and "Star Trek: Voyager" actor Robert Picardo. Alongside the livestream, Yuri's Night will hold a costume contest to mark the occasion, so don your favorite flight suit or get creative and make an imaginative space-inspired costume with things you already have at home. You could even win "fabulous prizes," Bailey said, if you enter your costume by posting it on Twitter with the hashtag #YurisNight. You can watch the livestream and stay up-to-date with the evolving list of guests here . For a limited time, you can take out a digital subscription to any of our best-selling science magazines for just $2.38 per month, or 45% off the standard price for the first three months.View Deal.

Kennedy warmly congratulated Khrushchev for their achievement, but the fact that Kennedy did not contest this exploit was seen by the Russian people, and the whole world, as the confirmation that Gagarin’s exploits was fact. Palm Beach Post 19 th April. Yet, some days later, articles appeared in several American newspapers which were describing his so-called space-flight as a hoax, and explaining why it was not credible. Some politicians, for example a representative from Illinois, Roman Pucinski, urged Kennedy not to accept Gagarin’s ‘achievement’ without proof from the Russians (which they have never provided – even to this day.) Gagarin was systematically announcing his progress on the flight too early, which strongly suggests that his voice was coming from a recording that had been started too early, and which also explains the de-synchronisation between his voice and the corresponding events. Gagarin said that he was flying over South-America only fifteen minutes after he departed, when he needed in fact at least forty-five to get there. He also stated that he could distinctly see the Russian farms and meadows when he was at an altitude of 200 miles, at which altitude this was impossible.

  • DCS: Su-27 Flanker Flight Manual
    [SU-27] DCS DCS: Su-27 Flanker Eagle Dynamics i Flight Manual DCS [SU-27] DCS: Su-27 for DCS World The Su-27, NATO codename Flanker, is one of the pillars of modern-day Russian combat aviation. Built to counter the American F-15 Eagle, the Flanker is a twin-engine, supersonic, highly manoeuvrable air superiority fighter. The Flanker is equally capable of engaging targets well beyond visual range as it is in a dogfight given its amazing slow speed and high angle attack manoeuvrability. Using its radar and stealthy infrared search and track system, the Flanker can employ a wide array of radar and infrared guided missiles. The Flanker also includes a helmet-mounted sight that allows you to simply look at a target to lock it up! In addition to its powerful air-to-air capabilities, the Flanker can also be armed with bombs and unguided rockets to fulfil a secondary ground attack role. Su-27 for DCS World focuses on ease of use without complicated cockpit interaction, significantly reducing the learning curve. As such, Su-27 for DCS World features keyboard and joystick cockpit commands with a focus on the most mission critical of cockpit systems.

As a result, there is a tension felt when this claim is made at the beginning of a text with which a reader is unfamiliar, leading to the risk of assuming which parts of the narrative are true and which were fabricated. This thesis will explore several texts and works of narrative art which bare the markings of being “based on a true story,” but which challenge the reader to think critically when comparing their contents to verifiable sources.

  • Vanishing Cosmonauts -- with Photos
    Cosmonauts Who Weren’t There James Oberg June 24 2012 [illustrations added] In the years between the end of the Apollo program (1975) and the first orbital flights of the space shuttle (1981), when I was on the Mission Control Center team in Houston preparing for the first launch of ‘Columbia’, one of my additional duties was to provide background briefings for new personnel there. I found that one particular set of “space history” slides made one audience especially nervous. It wasn’t what the slides showed, but rather, what they did NOT show. The pictures were of groups of Russian cosmonauts, smiling confidently for the cameras. But what made the audience laugh -- at first -- was that subsequent versions of the very same group photographs had gaps. Faces clearly seen in the first versions had vanished to the retoucher’s airbrush. My most nervous audience was the new ‘space shuttle astronaut selection’, 35 men and women chosen in 1978 to supplement the two dozen Apollo veterans and as-yet unflown rookies from that era. They were sobered to realize the apparent implication of the forged Russian cosmonaut photographs -- if a space trainee screwed up, he (or she) could just disappear. Now, I’m not making this up. To prevent that from ever happening to themselves, they all vowed not to screw up. As an added defense to photo erasure, they joked, in any group photo sessions they would entwine their arms very tightly with each other. And it really was funny, after all. Here were clumsy Soviet propagandists obviously trying to conceal the existence of several individuals who had been members of their first cosmonaut teams.

  • All Sides Claim Victory in 1996 Gubernatorial Elections
    ALL SIDES CLAIM VICTORY IN 1996 GUBERNATORIAL ELECTIONS Although they did not receive nearly as much international attention as the July presidential election, the 48 Russian regional elections held between 1 September and 5 January were closely watched by Russian politicians and commentators. Gubernatorial elections were held in 45 oblasts, krais, and autonomous okrugs, forcing leaders appointed by President Boris Yeltsin to face the voters. Three ethnic republics also elected top executives. Both the Kremlin and opposition leaders have portrayed the elections as a success, but many new governors have pledged to use their mandates to benefit their own regions, and it is difficult to predict where their primary loyalties will lie. Who are the new governors? Of the 48 incumbent regional leaders who faced elections in 1996, 20 held on to their jobs and 24 were defeated. Another three continue to serve pending repeat elections in their regions, and Tyumen Governor Leonid Roketskii will contest a runoff on 12 January. (A complete list of election results is attached to this issue of the Russian Regional Report.) Fifteen of the 24 new governors were elected mainly with the backing of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (KPRF) and its left-wing umbrella movement, the Popular-Patriotic Union of Russia (NPSR). Of the successful Communist-backed candidates, seven were chairmen of regional or local legislatures immediately before being elected governor (Krasnodar and Altai krais and Voronezh, Volgograd, Kaluga, Vladimir, and Kurgan oblasts). Four others were State Duma deputies (Kirov, Bryansk, and Chelyabinsk oblasts and Stavropol Krai), and one (Ryazan) worked in the parliament's Audit Chamber.

De muziek die over de perrons schalde was weer zo luid dat we elkaar moesten toeschreeuwen. We waren in de Rode Pijl Express door een corpulente conductrice ruw gewekt. Ze kwakte een pot thee neer in mijn slaapcabine - ik zorg altijd dat ik een slaapplaats alleen heb - en zette de radio keihard aan om zeker te zijn dat ik op zou staan om het geluid de nek om te draaien. Onze eerste ontmoeting was met de architect ir. Yuri Vasiliev, die nadere bijzonderheden verschafte over de universiteitsstad die op 45 kilometer afstand van hier wordt gebouwd. Hij werd bijgestaan door professor Igor Famin en een andere architect Vladimir Maslov, die alle maar gewenste details invulden. Ik vroeg professor Famin of er ook met de psychologie van toekomstige studentengeneraties rekening werd gehouden bij het ontwerpen van een universiteitsstad. ‘Alle architecten zijn ook een beetje psycholoog,’ antwoordde hij. ‘Ik ben kunstenaar,’ viel architect Maslov in de rede. ‘Veel mensen hebben geen belangstelling voor psychologie.’ ‘Dat is juist zo jammer,’ zei ik, ‘want de psyche is misschien wel het kernpunt waar alles om draait. Kunt u de betekenis van een traan in een oog uitleggen?’ ‘Dat is een filosofische vraag en waarom zouden wij die stellen wanneer we een traan niet kunnen verklaren,’ kwam als antwoord.

    Introduction “As I fly through the air at speeds of sound, Whilst shattering through clouds new mirth I have found, Like a new way of life for a boy who is lost Wants to be a hero in glory but unsure of the cost. Civilian life, you know, was just no fun, Now what I have as I wanted, is my plane and my gun Through all the briefings, the odds were for me, I thought this would just be another cake piece. Suddenly, from nowhere, a MiG on my six, I flicked with the controls, this was not as I fixed. He fires his missile, no time to fret, I fire my countermeasures, my palms covered with sweat. He misses, a momentary win, and as just a little mock, I try to turn around him and let my cannon do the talk. But, through all the gunfire, his bullet hits my wing, As I fall to the ground, I hear my ear ring As if t’were God saying as I triggered the self eject, “Yes, my son, this is the art of war, don’t deject.” -Venkat Krishnaraj All through this book, we would be running along facts enveloping the current air forces, air planes, fighters and missiles. “Complete Air Dominance-A flight of a lifetime” explains the various aspects of air-forces from the strategic as well as the technical point of view. It covers almost the entire spectrum: right from the evolution of the first airplane to a sneak peek of the near future. This book explains the role of each airplane within the airforce, the strategic advantages and disadvantages associated with each plane.
