Mounted Prints from Science Photo Library
Vostok 1 Soviet spacecraft
Vostok (Russian осток, translated as "East") was a family of rockets derived from the Soviet R-7 Semyorka ICBM designed for the humanspaceflight programme but later used for other sputnik launches. It was a subset of the R-7 family of rockets.
Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin, Hero of the Soviet Union, was a Soviet cosmonaut. On 12 April 1961, he became the first human in outer space and the first man to orbit the Earth. He was launched onboard Vostok-1 at 8:07 Moscov Time and landed at 9:55 Moscov Time after a parachute egress near Saratow close to Smelovka on a field

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Vostok 1 Soviet spacecraft, a remarkable achievement in human spaceflight history. Derived from the Soviet R-7 Semyorka ICBM, the Vostok rockets were initially designed for manned space missions but later utilized for various satellite launches as well. In this sepia-toned image, we witness Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin, an esteemed Soviet cosmonaut and Hero of the Soviet Union. On April 12,1961, Gagarin etched his name in the annals of space exploration by becoming not only the first human to venture into outer space but also successfully orbiting our planet aboard Vostok-1. The launch took place at precisely 8:07 Moscow Time and concluded when Gagarin safely landed near Saratow close to Smelovka on a field at 9:55 Moscow Time using a parachute egress. This photograph captures both historical significance and pioneering technological advancements that characterized this early era of manned spaceflight. It symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit of exploring new frontiers beyond Earth's boundaries during the intense Space Race between superpowers. Detlev van Ravenswaay skillfully immortalizes this momentous event through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both the engineering marvels behind Vostok 1 and Gagarin's groundbreaking journey into outer space. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are reminded of how far we have come since those monumental days in April 1961 when mankind first ventured beyond our home planet.
