t's offered to your attention the black-and-white photo of the first cosmonaut Yury Gagarin in his space suit trying to lay down to his ejection seat with the help of several engineers from "NPO Zvezda" - the manufacturers of the space suit and the ejection seat. The photo was taken with non-professional camera. Shooting frames as regular photos were prohibited because of the "top secret" restrictions. That's why the quality of the photo is not good.
- The handwritten inscription by the Soviet early space program Chief-Designer Sergey KOROLEV: "The flight of Yury Gagarin is the greatest event for our country. This work is important for our country." - The handwritten inscription by cosmonaut #1 Yury GAGARIN: "I'm ready to fulfil tasks of our party, government and Soviet nation." - The handwritten inscription by cosmonaut #3 Andriyan NIKOLAEV: "Communists first in the world carved the way to expanses of the Universe." - The original signatures of Sergey KOROLEV and the first 11 cosmonauts: Gagarin, Titov, Nikolaev, Popovich, Bykovsky, Tereshkova, Komarov, Feoktistov, Egorov, Belyaev, Leonov - all the crew members of Vostok and Voshod space program!
