Yuri GagarinYuri Gagarin was a soviet pilot and cosmonaut; he was the first human to travel into outer space and completed an orbit of the Earth in 1961

Gherman TitovTitov, the second man to orbit the earth was the first man to take a picture and film from space. Gagarin did not take a camera with him on the first spaceflight, so Titov was the first photographer and first cinematographer of the cosmos.

The first woman in space

In 1963 cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova becomes the first woman in space

Venus 3• In 1965 Venus 3

was launched by the Soviets
