Biography: Yuri Gagarin, cosmonaut
Birthplace: Klushino, Russia
Best Known As: The first human in space
Yuri Gagarin was born in the village of Klushino near Gzhatsk (now in Smolensk Oblast, Russia), on 9 March 1934. The adjacent town of Gzhatsk was renamed Gagarin in 1968 in his honor. His parents, Alexei Ivanovich Gagarin and Anna Timofeyevna Gagarina, worked on a collective farm.
Like all people his age Gagarin had to undergo the ordeals of the war years. He was seven, when the Second World War broke out. The boy survived the Nazi invasion, the severe hardships of the war. The first planes he saw were war planes .
When the war ended the Gagarin family moved to Gzhatsk. Yuri attended an elementary school in this town.
Gagarin briefly attended a trade school to learn foundry work in the Moscow satellite town of Lyubertsy, then entered a technical school. He joined the Saratov Flying Club in 1955 and learned to fly the Yak-18.
Later that year, he was drafted and sent to the Orenburg Flying School, where he trained in the MIG jet. Gagarin graduated November 7, 1957, four days after Sputnik 2 was launched. He married Valentina Goryacheva, a nursing student, the day he graduated.
Post-graduation, he was assigned to Luostari airbase in Murmansk Oblast, close to the Norwegian border, where terrible weather made flying risky. In 1958 space officials recruited air force pilots to train as cosmonauts.
Career in the Soviet space program Selection and training
Gagarin applied and was selected to train in the first group of sixty men. Only twelve men were taken for further training at Zvezdograd (Star City), a training field outside Moscow.
Career in the Soviet space program Selection and training
Space officials closely observed the trainees. They finally selected Gagarin for the first spaceflight. Capable, strong, and even-tempered, Gagarin represented the ideal Soviet man, a peasant farmer who became a highly trained cosmonaut in a few short years.
Career in the Soviet space program Space flight
He was launched in Vostok 1 on the planned date, and during the crowded 1 hour 48 minutes of his single orbit of the earth he proved that man could survive in space and perform useful tasks. His mission ended at 10:55 A.M., when he landed safely in a field near Saratov
After the flight, Gagarin became a worldwide celebrity, touring widely with appearances in Italy, Great Britain, Germany, Canada, and Japan to promote the Soviet achievement.
Career in the Soviet space program Fame and later life
In 1962, he began serving as a deputy to the Supreme Soviet. He later returned to Star City, the cosmonaut facility, where he worked on designs for a reusable spacecraft. Gagarin worked on these designs in Star City for 7 years.
Death and legacy
On 27 March 1968, while on a routine training flight, he and flight instructor Vladimir Seryogin died in a MiG-15UTI crash near the town of Kirzhach. Gagarin and Seryogin were buried in the walls of the Kremlin on Red Square.
Death and legacy
American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin left one of Gagarin"s medals on the moon as a tribute. The cosmonaut training center where he had first trained was named after him. A crater on the moon bears his name, as does Gagarin Square in Moscow with its soaring monument, along with a number of monuments and streets in cities throughout Russia. At Baikonur, a reproduction of his training room is traditionally visited by space crews before a launch. Russians celebrate Cosmonaut Day on April 12 every year in honor of Gagarin"s historic flight.

Space exploration is quickly progressing and it seems that soon we’ll be visiting other planets and even living on them. The 21st century may be the turning point. Our country has the only space station in the world, more launch vehicles than any other country and, of course, the only “real (long-term) experience” living and working in space. A lot of countries are involved in cooperative space projects with Russia.
We’ll be proud not only of our past achievements in the space but of the future ones as well.

LESSON “SPACE EXPLORATION”
Before you start:
What do you know about space?
Can we say that space exploration is the main part of science?
1. Read and guess what it means:
| Key words: equipment observation maintain exploration technology breakthrough discovery civilization invention experiment |
1.to find something: new place, fact, substance
- to make, design, or think of new type of thing
- the act of traveling through a place in order to find out about it
- something that you notice when watching something or someone
- unimportant new discovery in something you are studying especially one made after trying for a long time
- the societies in the world considered as a whole
- new machines, equipment, and ways of doing things that are based on modern knowledge about science and computers
- to try using various ideas, methods to find out how good or effective they are
- to make something continue in the same way or at the same standard as before
- the tools, machines, clothes that you need to do a particular job or activity
Key: 1) discovery, 2) invention, 3) exploration, 4) observation, 5) breakthrough, 6) civilisation, 7) technology, 8) experiment, 9) maintain, 10) equipment.
2. Match the combinations of words:
Key: 1- f, 2- m, 3- a, 4- j, 5- i, 6- b, 7- k, 8- c, 9- n , 10- d, 11- g, 12- e, 13- l, 14- h.
II. Listening:
1. Listen to the short articles and try to learn information:
1) Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky – the founder of astronautics in Russia, put forward several ideas about space travel. Tsiolkovsky’s idea of spaceship was based on the use of liquid fuels. His calculations were used in modern theory of cosmonautics and practical space travel.
2) Sergei Pavlovich Korolyov- is a famous scientist and founder of practical cosmonautics. He was the chief constructor of the first Earth sputniks and spaceships. Then followed rockets to the Moon, Mars, Venus.
3) The space age began on October 4, 1957. On that day, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite to circle the earth. Its capsule weighing 83.6 kilograms went into Earth orbit carrying a radio transmitter whose “bleeps” (pips) were received on the ground.
4) Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin, a Soviet air force pilot, was the first human to travel in space. The Soviet cosmonaut circled the earth on April 12, 1961. From blastoff to landing, his trip around the earth lasted 1hour and 48 minutes. The news about space flight of the Soviet cosmonaut immediately flew over the world.
5) Valentina Tershkova was the first woman-cosmonaut in the world. From June 16 until June 19, during a group flight with V.Bykovky, the spaceship “Vostok-6” piloted by Tereshkova made in 70 hours and 41 minutes 48 circuits around the earth, covering a distance of about 2 million kilometers.
When she was in space, she was there together with her “space-brother” Valery Bykovsky.
This was another great achievement – launching two spaceships at the same time.
6) In 1965 the cosmonaut Alexei Leonov went outside wearing a space suit connected to the capsule by a line which also carried his oxygen supply, becoming the first person to “walk” in space. From the first experiments scientists went over to systematic exploration of space.
7) The gravity of Earth continually pulls on our bodies to give us weight. But if you are in a lift that is speeding downwards, you feel lighter. This effect is exaggerated in a spacecraft: as it is falling in a gravitational field, the astronauts inside it are falling at the same rate and become weightless.
2. Say true or false:
- Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky – the founder of astronautics in Great Britaina, put forward several ideas about space travel.
- Sergei Pavlovich Korolyov was the chief constructor of the first telephone.
- On October 4, 1967 the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite to circle the earth.
- Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin, a Soviet air force pilot, was the first human to travel to Mars.
- Valentina Tershkova was the first woman-cosmonaut in the world.
- Alexei Leonov went outside wearing a space suit connected to the capsule by a line which also carried his oxygen supply, becoming the first person to “walk” in space.
Key: 1- false, 2- false, 3- false, 4- false, 5- true, 6- true.
3. Answer the questions:
- Why is Tsiolkovsky considered to be the founder of astronautics?
- What did he work out?
- Who was S.P.Korolyov?
- What did he made?
- How long did his space travel last?
- What did Gagarin’s flight into space mean?
- What is V.Tereshkova famous for?
- What distance did she cover?
- What great achievement did they demonstrate?
- Who the first worked in outer space?
- Haw you can understand “ zero gravity”?
1. Read the text and try to get the most interesting facts for you:
SPACE EXPLORATION
Space travel is humanity’s greatest adventure – the chance to explore the moon, the planets, and the stars. The space age began on October 4, 1957. On that day, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite to circle the earth. The first manned space flight was made on April 12, 1961, when a Soviet cosmonaut, Yuri Gagarin, orbited the earth in a spaceship. During the years that followed this first space expedition, many flights carried people into space.
Human beings first set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969. U.S. astronaut Neil A.Amstrong stepped out of the Apollo 11 lunar module, “Eagle”. For about two hours he and Edwin E.Aldrin explored near the module and set up experiments. During the years since the space age began, many uses for space travel have been discovered. The space age developed a huge industry called the aerospace industry to design and build space equipment. A new field of medicine called space medicine came into being to study the problems of living and working in space. Weather forecasts receive warning of storms with pictures taken by weather satellites. Telephone calls and television pictures are sent around the world by communications satellites. Signals from navigation satellites enable ship navigations and search and rescue forces to determine their positions with great accuracy. Scientific satellites and space probes discovered the Van Allen radiations belt around the earth and made many other discoveries. Earth survey satellites, used for detecting mineral deposits, diseased crops, sources of pollution, and map-making; military satellites, used mainly for reconnaissance and intelligence gathering; and astronomical satellites, which are observatories in space, orbiting above the blanketing layer of the Earth’s atmosphere. During the early years of the space age, success in space became a measure of a country’s leadership in science, engineering, and national defense. As a result, the Soviet Union and the United States competed with one another in developing their space programmers. But both nations began to realize that they could benefit from working together. In 1975, the S.U. and U.S. cooperated in their first joint space mission “Soyuz-Apollo”. The principal area of cooperation between U.S. and Soviet space programmers has been in space medicine.
People have always wanted to explore the unknown. Mankind always dreamed of overcoming
gravitation and reaching other planets. Among the achievements we may enumerate the
landing of automatic stations on the Moon, the flights of space laboratories towards the
Venus and Mars. During the years that followed this first space expedition, many flights
carried people into space. There are manned and unmanned spacecraft (carry instruments and
radio equipment)A reusable manned spacecraft is called a shuttle. The first astronauts
were sent into space in small capsules that sat on top of rockets. These missions were
expensive as the rockets could only be used once. The main parts of the Shuttle – the
orbiter spacecraft, and the rocket boosters – are reusable. The orbiter returns to Earth
like a plane, and can be used over and over again. The first space station, Salyut 1, was
launched in 1971, and was visited by the Soyuz for 23 days.
By 1983 six more Salyut craft had been launched and cosmonauts were staying longer and
longer in orbit. In 1983 and 1985 large Cosmos unmanned craft were automatically docked
with Salyut 7, making it into a large space station. From the space station a detachable
descent module could carry materials and experiments back to Earth.
In 1986 the Soviets launched “Mir”, the central module of a new space station far more
complex than Salyut. As with Salyut, Mir was designed to receive both manned Soyuz craft
and unmanned Progress cargo craft.

B A space shuttle takes 90 minutes to orbit the Earth. In these 90 minutes, daylight and night time constantly change for the astronauts. In fact, they see 16 sunsets and 16 sunrises! Altogether, 45 minutes of the journey are spent in daylight, and 45 minutes in the dark. C Astronauts on the shuttle can choose from about 100 different food items and 50 drinks. However, a word of warning – the taste of food often changes in space and your favourite food on the ground might taste disgusting 5)__________ kilometres above the earth. D The 6)_________ were the first to travel into space but the 7) __________ were the first to send a man to the moon. When Neil Armstrong took his first steps on the moon, millions were watching him on TV back home. Of course, everyone knows Armstrong was the first man on the moon. But did you know that this Apollo 11 mission left a plaque in the moon? It says, ‘Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon July 1969, A.D. We came in peace for all mankind.’ E Space travel has always been a dangerous business. Two of the most tragic accidents in the last 30 years were the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle disasters. In 1986 the Challenger had only been in the sky for a minute when it exploded. In 2003 the Columbia broke up while it was re-entering the Earth’s 8) ____________.

Space and Beyond.
A. When Denis Tito stepped out of a space shuttle in the early hours of May 6 th 2001, he had a big smile on his face. He had just spent seven days in space and had become the world’s first space tourist. He had paid $20 million dollars for his trip on the Russian Soyuz rocket. He was not the first non-astronaut in space though. In 1984, the engineering company Mc Donnell Douglas gave NASA $66,000 to take Charlie Walker, a person who worked for them, on their STS-41D flight to do some research.
B. A space shuttle takes 90 minutes to orbit the Earth. In these 90 minutes, Daylight and night time constantly change for the astronauts. In fact, they see 16 sunsets and 16 sunrises! Altogether, 45 minutes of the journey are spent in daylight, and 45 minutes in the dark.
C. Astronauts on the shuttle can choose from about 100 different food items and 50 drinks. However, a word of warning – the taste of food often changes in space and your favourite food on the ground might taste disgusting 200 kilometres above the earth.
D. The Russians were the first to travel into space but the Americans were the first to send a man to the moon. When Neil Armstrong took his first steps on the moon, millions were watching him on TV back home. Of course, everyone knows Armstrong was the first man on the moon. But did you know that this Apollo 11 mission left a plaque in the moon? It says, ‘Here men from the planet Earthfirst set foot upon the Moon July 1969, A.D. We came in peace for all mankind.’
E. Space travel has always been a dangerous business. Two of the most tragic accidents in the last 30 years were the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle disasters. In 1986 the Challenger had only been in the sky for a minute when it exploded. In 2003 the Columbia broke up while it was re-entering the Earth’s atmosphere. On bith flights all seven members of the crew died.
