(Vostok) is worlds First Manned Space Vehicle. Vostok was the first spaceflight of the Vostok program and the first human spaceflight in history. The Vostok 3KA spacecraft was launched on April 12, 1961. The flight carried Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, making him the first human to cross into outer space. The spaceflight consisted of one orbit around Earth, the shortest manned orbital flight to date. According to official records, the spaceflight took 108 minutes from launch to landing. As planned, Gagarin parachuted to the ground separately from his spacecraft after ejecting at 7 km (23,000 ft) altitude. Due to the secrecy surrounding the Soviet space program at the time, many details of the spaceflight only came to light years later, and several details in the original press releases turned out to be false.
