Valentina Tereshkova 1937–

Notes

Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova was born on 6 March 1937. The alias on this Echo is that full name, and the years field reads 1937– because no death date is stored. She is living in the public record used for this note. The summary names a cosmonaut who was the first woman to fly in space. The flight was the solo mission Vostok 6 on 16 June 1963. She orbited Earth 48 times, spent almost three days in space, and remains the only woman to have flown a space mission alone. She was twenty-six at the time of the flight. A NASA educational page and the Wikipedia articles linked below are the sources for those figures. This note does not add a birthplace, a training field, a later office, or a death.
