Valentina Tereshkova was bom in 1937. She is the first woman to fly in space. Tereshkova flew aboard Vostok 6 from June 16 to June 19, 1963.
Tereshkova was bom to a peasant family in the Yaroslavl region of the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Tereshkova began work at a textile factory when she was 18 years old. She soon joined a club of amateur parachutists. When the Soviet space programme began to consider sending women into space in 1961, she applied to become a cosmonaut.
Shortly before the June 16, 1963, the launch date, Tereshkova was chosen to fly aboard Vostok 6. She made 48 orbits totalling 70 hours 50 minutes in space.
Tereshkova married fellow cosmonaut Andrian Nikolayev in November 1963. Their daughter Yelena was bom the following year, the first child of parents that had both been in space.
