Who Is the First Female Space Explorer? Where Is She From?

Answer 1

If we are talking humans, Valentina V Tereshkova, Born: 6 March 1937, Maslennikovo, Russia,

Launcher: Vostok 6

Cosmonaut: Valentina V. Tereshkova
Backup: Irina Solovyova
Launch Date: 16 June 1963
Time: 09:30 UTC
Landing Location: Karaganda region
Date: 19 June 1963
Time: 08:20 UTC
Orbits: 48
Duration: 2 days, 22 hours, 50 minutes
Call Sign: Chaika (Seagull)

Vostok 5 and Vostok 6 were a dual flight, much like the Vostok 3 and Vostok 4 flights nearly a year before. Vostok 6 would land over 2 and half hours before Vostok 5. The two craft passed within 5 km of each other.

Tereskhova was the first woman to fly in space. There would not be another one for 19 years.

Answer 2

The first woman in space was Valentina Tereshkova from Russia. The first woman in the line of "Space Tourists" from Space Adventures, inc. is Anousheh Ansari orininally from Iran, now living in the U.S., North Texas, I believe. She dislikes the space tourist designation, so she would probably say that space explorer would fit her better.

Answer 3

You are talking about recent events - the first female private space explorer? Her name is Anousheh Ansari
