Women in space


On 16th June 1963, Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova was the first woman to fly to space, just two years after Yuri Gagarin performed the first spaceflight ever in 1961. Tereshkova circled the Earth 48 times onboard the Vostok 6 spacecraft.

Today is the 50th anniversary of this extraordinary achievement in the history of women in space.
