What event did Gagarin die of?

Yury alekseyevich gagarin (юрийалексеевичгагари). Gagarin was born in a collective farm family in Kerrouche, Satz District, Smolensk region, Soviet Union. He is from Belarus. 1955 saratov industrial technology school joined the army after graduation. 1957 graduated from the first military aviation pilot school in Chekalov and became an aviation fighter pilot of the Red Flag North Fleet. In the same year, he married valentina. 1960 was elected as an astronaut and joined the Soviet * * * production party. His life is 196 1. 12 In April, he piloted the "Oriental" spacecraft 1 to complete the first space flight in history, enabling human beings to observe the earth where they live from space. The "Dongfang" spacecraft 1 took off from Baikonur launch site at 9: 07 Moscow time, circled the earth 1 hour at 48: 00 (108: 00) and returned safely, landing in Haylov village, Saratov state. Gagarin orbits the earth, 302 kilometers from the surface of the earth. He stayed in orbit for 89 minutes before landing safely. 1961April14th was awarded the title of Soviet hero. 1962, Gagarin was elected as the representative of the sixth supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union. In June, 1964, 1 1, served as the chairman of the board of directors of Su Gu Friendship Association. After the first space flight, Gagarin took an active part in training other astronauts. 196/kloc-0 served as captain of astronauts in may, and 1963 was promoted to deputy director of astronaut training center in February. While training other astronauts, he himself did not give up training and dreamed of going into space again. 1in April, 967, he completed the training and preparation for the first flight of Soyuz spacecraft and became the successor of astronaut komarov. After his space training, he didn't give up flying fighters. I also went to zhukovsky Aviation Military Academy to continue studying flying, and graduated in February 1968. On the morning of March 27th of the same year 10, Gagarin took off on a "MIG-17" trainer for routine flight training. In the back cabin of the plane, flight instructor Seredin is still sitting. At 10 and 2 1 0, due to the bad weather and the influence of other planes flying in the same airspace, the plane crashed unfortunately, and Gagarin and his teacher were killed. After Gagarin died, his ashes were buried in a niche in the Kremlin. In memory of him, his hometown of Satz was named Gagarin City, and the astronaut training center he trained was also named after him. The Soviet Union renamed his birthplace Gagarin District. To commemorate Gagarin's feat of going into space for the first time, Russia designated 12 in April every year as the Space Festival, and held a grand commemorative event on this day to remember this hero. The International Aviation Federation established the Gagarin Gold Medal. A spherical mountain on the back of the moon is also named after him. His main works are "The Road to the Universe-The Notes of Soviet Astronauts" (1969) and "Passion Feeling! (Compilation of speeches, letters and interviews) (197 1 year). Why did the first astronaut choose him? A question has been raised in the past and now, and that is why the first astronaut chose him. Kanof, one of the leaders of the first astronaut team, answered this question because he noticed Gagarin's indisputable qualities: firm patriotism, firm belief in flight success, excellent physique, optimistic spirit, resourceful intelligence, studious, brave, decisive, earnest, calm, simple, humble and enthusiastic. In addition to the above conditions, Khrushchev also gave the following instructions on the choice of the first astronaut at that time: it must be pure Russian. Thus, Titov, a Ukrainian astronaut with the same conditions, became a preparatory astronaut for the first space flight. Everyone, including the designer of "Aerospace 1", actually felt very embarrassed when choosing the best person for manned spacecraft to travel in space. Because in terms of physical, technical and moral qualities, there are three qualified astronauts: Gagarin, Titov and Neryupov. Who is more suitable? Since the successful development of "Dongfang 1", this problem has been puzzling the designers of spacecraft and the leaders of the whole space program. A week before the spacecraft flew into space, this puzzling question finally settled-Gagarin was chosen as the first astronaut in human history to travel in space by manned spacecraft, and later became famous throughout the ages. What advantages of Gagarin have won the favor of decision makers? Luo Lifu, the chief designer of "Oriental 1", surprised people at that time when interviewed by reporters, but now the cause and effect of this incident has been handed down as a story in human history. Rolev answered the reporter like this: "In fact, the astronauts sent at that time were excellent in all aspects, and the gap between them was very small, which was really a problem for us. But in the selection process at that time, I always felt that the performance of astronauts was a bit of a fly in the ointment, but I didn't know what the problem was. It was not until Gagarin entered the spaceship that I clearly realized the shortcomings of other astronauts. "When he said this, Luo Lifu still couldn't hide his excitement. He paused and then said, "Gagarin gently took off his shoes and entered the cockpit wearing only socks before entering the spacecraft. It was this move that many people thought was inconspicuous that touched me at once, because I saw his habit of pursuing perfection from this move and felt his incomparable treasure for the spaceship. You know, his love for spacecraft is actually a respect for our designers and a love for the aerospace industry. Gagarin's performance in the later skill test and knowledge quiz was equally perfect, so we finally decided to let Gagarin carry out the sacred mission of the first human space flight. "Gagarin won the favor of Rolev and others through a small move, thus becoming the first person to travel in space and leaving his name in the vast history of mankind. In fact, as Rolev said, Gagarin's action at that time was small, but it was no accident. It is the inevitable result of his long-term attention to details, and it is this long-term attention to details that has won him great achievements. There are many coincidences in history. 1934 On March 9th, the former Soviet rocket designer korolev and the chief designer of the first Soviet satellite Tikhonravov talked about the prospect of manned space flight for the first time, and even talked about who would be the first person to fly into space. yuri gagarin was born on this day. Death of a Hero 1968 On March 27th, a two-seater jet plane crashed during a flight described as routine training, killing Gagarin and flight instructor Serekin. After Gagarin's death, his ashes were buried in a niche on the wall of the Kremlin. Gagarin's hometown, Satz, was named Gagarin City. In order to commemorate Gagarin's feat of going into space for the first time, Russia has designated April 65438+February as the Space Festival every year, and held a grand commemorative event on this day to remember this hero.
