A flash mob on the Gagarin’s Homeland

In the town of Gagarin a few thousands of balloons will be launched into the sky to commemorate the heroic deed of the first cosmonaut.

On April 12, Russia and the whole world will celebrate the 55th anniversary of the first manned space flight. This is a great and significant event, especially in 2016, when the first launch of a rocket-carrier from the Russia's first civilian spaceport “Vostochny” will take place.

By the launch date, "Roskosmos" plans to have screens installed on the central squares of the megacities and the cities associated with the name of Yuri Gagarin, to broadcast the first launch of the rocket.
