Airfix - Vostok 1 Space Rocket - Kit (A05172)
Product Code: A05172
One of the most successful space designs ever, the
initial flight of the Vostok which carried the first human being into space
was launched on 12th April 1961. Vostok 1, carrying cosmonaut Yury A.
Gagarin, made a single orbit of Earth before re-entry.
The Vostok series included six launchings over a two-year period. The final
two missions in June 1963 by Vostok 5, followed two days later by Vostok 6,
carrying Valentina V. Tereshkova, the first woman in space, were notable in
that the two spacecraft travelled at times only 3 miles (4.8 km) apart,
setting the stage for future space dockings between orbiting vehicles.
