[[Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin]] ([[Russian language|Russian]]: Юрий Алексеевич Гагарин; [[March 9]], [[1934]] – [[March 27]], [[1968]]), was a [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] [[cosmonaut]] who in [[1961]] became the first human to travel into space, as well as orbit the Earth.

On [[April 12]], [[1961]], Gagarin became the first human to travel into [[outer space|space]] in ''Vostok 3KA-2'' ([[Vostok 1]]). His call sign in this flight was [[Siberian Pine|Cedar]] ([[Russian language|Russian]]: Кедр). After the flight, Gagarin became an instant, worldwide celebrity, touring widely to promote the Soviet achievement. On [[March 27]], [[1968]] he was killed in a crash of a [[MiG-15]] UTI on a routine training flight near [[Kirzhach]] together with his instructor. It is uncertain what caused the crash, but a [[1986]] inquest suggests that the turbulence from a [[Su-11]] interceptor airplane using its [[Afterburner (engine)|afterburner]]s may have caused Gagarin's plane to go out of control.
