Remembering Yuri Gargarin

Every year at 9:07 am Moscow time on #CosmonauticsDay, we start counting minutes until Gagarin’s return home in 1961. Launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome, his spacecraft, Vostok 1, completed a full orbit around the Earth, landing in the Saratov Region. The flight lasted for 108 minutes. Two days later, the capital and the entire country welcomed the space hero back. The world applauded the space pioneer.
