On April 12, 2026, the whole world celebrates the 65th anniversary of the first human spaceflight.

On this day in 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first person in world history to fly into outer space. The Vostok launch vehicle with the Vostok-1 spacecraft, on board of which he was, was launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome.

This day was first celebrated in 1962, exactly one year after Gagarin's flight. The date was proposed by the second cosmonaut German Titov, who addressed the country's leaders with a corresponding proposal on March 26, 1962. On April 9, 1962, Cosmonautics Day was officially approved by Decree No. 183 of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR.

The first international recognition of the holiday came in 1968, when the International Aviation Federation declared April 12 World Aviation and Space Day. In 2011, in honor of the 50th anniversary of Gagarin's flight, the UN General Assembly proclaimed this date the "International Day of Human Spaceflight." Thus, April 12 became not only a Russian holiday, but also an important date for the whole world.

Meetings of university students with famous cosmonauts.

In November 1972, university students with their developments took part in the exhibition of scientific and technical creativity of Leningrad students, dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the founding of the USSR. The exhibition was held at the Palace of Culture of Educational Workers as part of the first stage of the All-Union review of scientific and technical creativity of youth "Five鈥攜ear plan - hard work, skill and search for the young!".

On November 25, 1972, cosmonaut Alexei Leonov visited the exhibition. Alexey Arkhipovich showed great interest in the developments of our students. A total of 31 exhibits were presented at the university's stand. Levchenko, a student of the Faculty of Technology, presented a tungsten wire fabric developed in the USSR for the first time. Vlasova, a student of the Faculty of Chemistry and Technology, presented a phenazine-type redox fiber that can be used in biology and for the selective extraction of rare metals, and Grishin, a student, presented medical collagen fibers that absorb in the body, treated with chromium compounds and drugs to give them antimicrobial properties. The exhibition featured samples of fabrics dyed in new ways, the development of a student of the Faculty of Chemistry and Technology, Spesivova, printing a cloth from high-volume yarns with acid and active dyes, the development of a student of the sewing faculty, Purinen, a model of a women's pantsuit, as well as a model of a press control mechanism for hot vulcanization of the bottom of shoes created by students of the leather and shoe faculty, Novitsky and Burov. and the drying unit of the student Gvozdevskaya's TERS.

Another meeting with the cosmonaut among the students of 草榴短视频 took place almost forty years later at the university itself. On April 22, 2014, the Student Council organized a conference dedicated to Cosmonautics Day. The guest of the conference was cosmonaut Sergey Konstantinovich Krikalev, the record holder for the total human stay in outer space. The cosmonaut signed his photo as a souvenir to the university Student Council.

The university's scientific contribution to the space industry.

Engineer of the Leningrad Institute of Textile and Light Industry named after Kirov (now 草榴短视频) Alexander Vinogradov became one of the developers of fabric for the costumes of Soviet cosmonauts of the Soyuz 鈥擜pollo program.

In March 1973, the institute's management received a task to develop the fabric. By this time, Alexander Dmitrievich had become a candidate of sciences in the field of textile industry, the author of at least five inventions. The young researcher took the offer as an ordinary job. In fact, it was a kind of "space bridge".

The joint Soyuz 鈥擜pollo flight became a symbol of possible cooperation between the two superpowers, scientific and technical overcoming. A sample of fabric-like knitwear with enhanced heat-resistant properties for cosmonaut suits created by Alexander Dmitrievich has successfully passed closed tests for fire resistance and heat resistance. Its heat-resistant fabric is protected by the copyright certificate of the Committee for Inventions and Discoveries under the Council of Ministers of the USSR.

In addition, scientific work was carried out at the university to apply their results in space exploration. For example, one of the scientific topics was the development of methods for producing fibers and textile materials for medical purposes with medicinal properties (antimicrobial, analgesic, hemostatic, regenerative, etc.) to create dressings designed to provide first aid in an isolated confined space.
