Gagarin (Russian: Гагарин) is an ice giant located in the mid-rim of the Yasny system. The celestial body was named in commemoration of the Pilot Cosmonaut, Hero of the Soviet Union and first human in space, Col. Yuri Alexeyevich Gagarin. With the aid of Soroka, Gagarin’s strong gravity guides the motion of Pepelnitsa debris in a sustained circular orbit, while also safeguarding the inner system from stray asteroids by either absorbing them or slingshotting them into the Granichny belt.
