The world's oldest space station

The Baikonur Cosmodrome is the world's oldest and largest space station. It was built in the 1950s on the desert steppe, 200 kilometres east of the Aral Sea. On 4th October 1957, the world's first satellite was launched from Baikonur. It was called Sputnik 1. A month later, on 3rd November 1957, Sputnik 2 was launched. Inside was Laika, the first dog to travel into space.

On 12th April 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first man in the world to travel into space in Vostok 1. It took him 108 minutes to travel around the Earth in his spacecraft. The first woman in space, Valentina Tereshkova, was also launched into space from Baikonur on 16th June 1963.

On 2nd October 1991, Toktar Aubakirov became the first Kazakh to travel into space on the spacecraft Soyuz TM-13. Aubakirov spent eight days in space and did experiments for Kazakhstan.

The world's first space tourist was Dennis Tito. He went into space from Baikonur on 28th April 2001 with the second Kazakh in space, Talgat Musabaev. Musabaev's first space flight was to the space station Mir on 1st July 1994. The mission lasted for 125 days, 22 hours and 53 minutes! His second expedition lasted for 207 days, 12 hours and 49 minutes.
