    How many astronauts have died exploring space? Have any Russians ever been killed in space?
    - Marie Ortega
The NASA Astronaut Memorial Wall includes the names of 24 astronauts who have given their lives in service of the space program. Of these, 17 were lost in space-related accidents and the remaining seven died in aircraft accidents. An additional eight cosmonauts have also perished during the Soviet/Russian space program. A brief biography of each of these lost pioneers is provided below. Valentin V. Bondarenko (Soviet Air Force) , training accident Bondarenko was an Air Force pilot selected for cosmonaut training in 1960. He was killed on 23 March 1961 while training in a ground-based spacecraft simulator. Fire broke out in the capsule, which was filled with a pure oxygen atmosphere, and he was unable to escape. CAPT Theodore C. Freeman (USAF) , aircraft accident CAPT Freeman had been an instructor training test pilots at the USAF Aerospace Research Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base. He had over 3,000 hours of flight time and was selected for the astronaut program in October 1963. He was to be trained to pilot an Apollo mission. Freeman died on 31 October 1964 during a routine flight aboard one of NASA's T-38 jet trainers. He was preparing to land near Houston when a snow goose struck the left side of the cockpit canopy. Shattered plexiglass entered both engines forcing Freeman to eject. However, his altitude was too low and the parachute had insufficient time to fully open. Freeman was buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

Welcome to the Astronaut and Cosmonaut Database!
Welcome to my Personal Database of Astronauts, Yuhangyuan and Cosmonauts who have flown into space and people who completed a program of Astronaut, Yuhangyuan or Cosmonaut training but didn't fly in outer space. To limit the amount of work needed to create and maintain this database, I choose not to include Astronaut, Yuhangyuan or Cosmonaut candidates unless I duplicated an error from one of my source websites.
The X-15 program wasn't originally included in this database because of a problem with classifying the flights. There were a total of 199 flights flew by the X-15 between 1959 and 1968. Most of these flights stayed in the atmosphere. The United States Air Force (USAF) awarded astronaut wings to the eight pilots who flew the X-15 above 80 km. On the other hand, the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale ( FAI ) requires a flight to fly above 100 km to classified as a spaceflight. Joseph Walker was the only one of the twelve X-15 pilots to reach the altitude of 100 km and is considered an astronaut by the FAI. The twelve X-15 pilots and two X-15 pilot candidates are included in this database. They are asterisked with two X-15 flight totals: total X-15 flights flown and X-15 flights flown above 80 km. Information has been included on all 199 X-15 flights in the X-15 Flights section with one page dedicated the 13 X-15 flight that flew above 80 km. When the Manned Space Programs Chronology is added to this database, it will include information on all 199 X-15 flights.

Yuri A. Gagarin Colonel Yuri A. Gagarin was born on a collective farm in a region west of Moscow, Russia on March 9, 1934. His father was a carpenter. Yuri attended the local school for six years and continued his education at vocational and technical schools. Yuri Gagarin joined the Russian Air Force in 1955 and graduated with honors from the Soviet Air Force Academy in 1957. Soon afterward, he became a military fighter pilot. By 1959, he had been selected for cosmonaut training as part of the first group of USSR cosmonauts. Yuri Gagarin flew only one space mission. On April 12, 1961 he became the first human to orbit Earth. Gagarin's spacecraft, Vostok 1, circled Earth at a speed of 27,400 kilometers per hour. The flight lasted 108 minutes. At the highest point, Gagarin was about 327 kilometers above Earth. Once in orbit, Yuri Gagarin had no control over his spacecraft. Vostok's reentry was controlled by a computer program sending radio commands to the space capsule. Although the controls were locked, a key had been placed in a sealed envelope in case an emergency situation made it necessary for Gagarin to take control. As was planned, Cosmonaut Gagarin ejected after reentry into Earth's atmosphere and landed by parachute.

    Gagarin, Yuri Alekseyevich (1934-1968), Soviet cosmonaut, technician and first human to fly in space. Gagarin flew into space aboard Vostok 1 on April 12, 1961, and made one orbit of the earth. Gagarin was born in the Smolensk region of the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR)
    . His family was displaced during World War II (1939-1945) and moved to the town of Gzhatsk in the northeastern part of Smolensk. In 1949 Gagarin began his higher education at a manufacturing trade school in Lyubertsy, a town outside of Moscow. In 1951 he trained as a metalworker at the industrial technical school in Saratov, which is southeast of Moscow. While he was in Saratov, he joined a flying club and learned to fly airplanes. His instructor recommended him to the air force, and Gagarin began attending the Soviet Air Force cadet training school at Chkalov (now Orenburg) in Russia in 1955. He graduated from the academy with high distinction in 1957, shortly after the launch of Sputnik 1. Gagarin applied for the six-week cosmonaut screening process in 1960 with just 230 hours of flying experience. He and 19 others were selected to become cosmonauts. Of these 20 men, 12 eventually completed space flights. Gagarin and fellow cosmonaut Gherman Titov, front-runners in their class, were both contenders for the Vostok 1 flight.

This adventure isn’t for the weak. Moving around inside a space suit is really, really hard work and accomplishing special tasks is almost impossible for a beginner. The fun is in the trying! Choose your space suit: Option 1 - The Orlan DMA Space Suit The Orlan DMA is the suit designed for space walks and activities necessary outside the International Space Station. This is the same suit worn during hydrolab training. In fact, many of the tasks you’ll attempt are the same ones done underwater to prepare for working in a weightless environment.

    Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition An astronaut cosmonaut or taikonaut is a person who travels into space Space exploration is the physical exploration of outer-earth objects and generally anything that involves the technologies, science, and politics regarding space endeavors. The idea of sending an object to space was conceived in the minds of many science fiction authors hundreds of years before it was actually feasible. Some of these works even included various descriptions of exactly how that would be done. During the 20th century, with the development of adequate propulsion technologies, stronger and lighter materials and other technological and scientific breakthroughs, the idea of outer-earth missions was no longer a dream, but a viable practice.

The criteria for determining who has achieved human spaceflight Human spaceflight is space exploration with a human crew, and possibly passengers (in contrast to crewless space missions which are remotely-controlled or robotic space probes). Traditionally, these endeavours have been referred to as manned space missions , although today some prefer to use the term crewed space missions because they consider manned to be sexist. The term
