 Yuri Gagarin was born March 9, 1934 (Klushino, Russia)
Died March 27, 1968 (Near Moscow, Russia).

In 1957 the former Soviet Union launched Sputnik,
the first man-made space satellite object.
Four years later, on April 12, 1961, Soviet cosmonaut (astronaut) number 1
Yuri Gagarin made a successful orbit of Earth aboard the spacecraft Vostok.
As the first human to fly in space, Gagarin represented a technical triumph for the Soviet Union.

Although Gagarin did not make another space flight,
he remained a national hero and a leader in Russia's cosmonaut training program.
His death during a training mission in 1968 was mourned throughout the Soviet Union

International Committee on Global Navigation Satellite Systems, The Way Forward :

The tenth anniversary of ICG brings with it the opportunity to recognize and acknowledge the vital role that satellite technology has played as an innovative tool for sustainable development. The Office for Outer Space Affairs, as the executive secretariat of ICG, has worked with Member States to enhance the compatibility and interoperability of constellations of GNSS, so that satellite technologies remain equally accessible for all

United Nations Programme on Space Applications :

Space technology has advanced rapidly in recent years. Nevertheless, a number of countries still lack the human, technical and financial resources required to conduct even the most basic space-related activities, such as meteorology, communications and natural-resource management. The need to make the benefits of space technology available to all countries has thus grown more urgent with each passing year
