Astronautics
Astronautics - a team of scientists in the fields of science, engineering, biology, medicine and the humanities that deal with off-planet air travel and exploration of space and its objects. Astronautics includes exploring and analyzing the conditions and phenomena accompanying space flight. It explores the technical possibilities of their implementation and explores the impact of flight conditions on the psychophysical state of astronauts and their ability to adapt to these conditions. In solving problems in the field of astronautics, the achievements of many branches of science are used. The idea of space travel has bothered the human mind for centuries, but it remained a dream until the time of the construction of powerful missiles capable of lifting the useful cargo far into space. Such rockets were created in the mid-twentieth century in the USA and the USSR. The first man in space was the Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. It was launched into space on April 12, 1961. Its historic flight lasted 108 minutes.
