Traveling on Vostok 1, Gagarin completed one orbit of earth on April 12, 1961 with a flight of 108 minutes. Vostok 1 was Gagarin's only space flight. Fearful that a national hero might be killed, Soviet officials banned Gagarin from further space flights, however Gagarin later died in a MIG-15 crash on a routine training flight.
