Memorial plaque to Gagarin to be unveiled in St Petersburg
ST. PETERSBURG, April 11 (Itar-Tass) -- A memorial plaque to Yuri
Gagarin will be unveiled here in the Petrogradsky district on Monday. The future first spaceman passed a training course at the Vulkan plant in 4, Novoladozhskaya Street in the city in 1955. The General Satellite Corporation, which is the largest Russian developer and producer of the digital satellite receivers, is housed in this building. The corporation creates the satellite television equipment applying the space technologies.
The memorial plaque will be unveiled on the occasion of the 50th
anniversary of the first piloted spaceflight. On April 12, the General
Satellite Corporation will also mark 20 years since the installation of the first TV antenna. The corporation is seeking to keep and enrich the Russian experience in the high technologies in the microelectronics and telecommunications.
Not all people are aware that Yuri Gagarin was not always engaged in the aviation. His parents were dreaming about their children to become qualified workers. At first their dreams came true, as their elder son became a construction electrician and their younger son Yuri worked as a mechanic upon graduation from the Saratov vocational school. As an excellent student Yuri Gagarin expressed the wish to pass his training course before the defense of his diploma paper at the Leningrad-based plant Vulkan, where he headed a brigade of 27 workers and was given the excellent recommendations. Yuri was offered to work as a foreman at the plant upon the graduation and he answered that he will try to do it.
"From the books and the textbooks we passed more to the training
courses at the plants. At first I was assigned to work at the Voikov plant in Moscow, then at the Vulkan plant in Leningrad," Gagarin was writing about this period of his life.
Gagarin could continue his career as a moulder, but he studied at the Saratov aeronautic club at that time and absorbed in the aviation forever.
In May 1961, already after the first spaceflight Gagarin came back to the city of the Neva River and visited the Vulkan plant several times.
