Following the definition that a civilian is someone who is not part of their country's armed forces (not in active duty; former service or reservist status is not considered being part of armed forces), [1] these are suborbital space flights (spaceflight according to US 50 mile space boundary definition) with a fully civilian crew:
Start date/time Duration End time Spacecraft Crew Remarks 18 March 08:34 12 minutes: 08:47 Voskhod 2: Alexei Leonov: First EVA in history. [1] Leonov had difficulty fitting back into the spacecraft due to spacesuit stiffness in vacuum.
Spaceflight (or space flight) is an application of astronautics to fly objects, usually spacecraft, into or through outer space, either with or without humans on board. Most spaceflight is uncrewed and conducted mainly with spacecraft such as satellites in orbit around Earth , but also includes space probes for flights beyond Earth orbit.

The first space rendezvous was accomplished by Gemini 6A and Gemini 7 in 1965.. Records and firsts in spaceflight are broadly divided into crewed and uncrewed categories. Records involving animal spaceflight have also been noted in earlier experimental flights, typically to establish the feasibility of sending humans to outer space.
"Basic Rocket Science" is the fourth episode of the second season and 29th overall of Community. It was originally broadcast on October 14, 2010, on NBC.. In the episode, the study group, except Abed, are trapped in a space flight simulator being towed from Greendale Community College.
Date/Time (UTC) Source object Event type Pieces tracked Remarks 9 May [1]: Westford-2: Communications experiment 46 [1]: As part of an experiment to facilitate international telecommunications, the US Military deployed an artificial space ring consisting of hundreds of millions of tiny copper needles [2] which would act as antennas reflecting radio signals at the target wavelength of 8 GHz.
In 1929, the Slovene officer Hermann Noordung was the first to imagine a complete space station in his book The Problem of Space Travel. [7] [8] The first rocket to reach space was a German V-2 rocket, on a vertical test flight in June 1944. [9]
