Answer 1

Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova (Russian: Валенти́на Влади́мировна Терешко́ва; born 6 March 1937) was the first woman to fly in space, aboard Vostok 6 on 16 June 1963,

After the flight of Yuri Gagarin in 1961, Sergey Korolyov, the head Soviet rocket engineer, came up with the idea of putting a woman in space. On 16 February 1962, Valentina Tereshkova was selected to join the female cosmonaut corps.

Out of more than four hundred applicants, five were selected: Tatiana Kuznetsova, Irina Solovyova, Zhanna Yerkina, Valentina Ponomareva, and Tereshkova. Qualifications included that they be parachutists under 30 years of age, under 170 cm tall, and under 70 kg in weight.

The Soviet leadership considered flights of women into space only to be for propaganda purposes. It was Nikita Khrushchev himself who made the final selection, choosing Tereshkova to become the first of the five to fly.

Even though there were plans for further female flights it took 19 years until the second woman, Svetlana Savitskaya, flew into space, with the pressure of impending American Space Shuttle flights with female astronauts. None of the other four in Tereshkova's cosmonaut group ever flew.

Where Yuri Gagarin did only one orbit of an hour and a half, around the earth in 1961. Tereshkova orbited the earth 48 times and spent almost three days in space, which was more than the combined flights times of all American astronauts at the time.

She was in space for nearly 3 days: 2 days 22 hours 50 minutes which seemed a long time, 44 years ago, but it seems like nothing compared to the 195 days Sunita Williams logged up earlier this year.

SECOND WOMAN IN SPACE

Svetlana Yevgenyevna Savitskaya (Russian: Светла́на Евге́ньевна Сави́цкая; born August 8, 1948, in Moscow, Russia) was a Soviet female aviator and cosmonaut who flew the Soyuz T-7 in 1982, becoming the second woman in space some 19 years after Valentina Tereshkova.

While on the Salyut 7 space station on July 25, 1984, cosmonaut Savitskaya became the first woman ever to perform a space walk. She was outside the space station for 3 hours 35 minutes.

Her total time in space (4 missions) was 19 days 17 hours 06 minutes

THIRD WOMAN IN SPACE

Sally Kristen Ride (born May 26, 1951) is an American former astronaut who in 1983 became the first American woman to reach outer space. On June 18, 1983 she became the first American woman in space as a crewmember on Space Shuttle Challenger for STS-7. She was preceded by two Soviet women, Valentina Tereshkova (1963) and Svetlana Savitskaya (1982).

Her total time in space (two missions) was 14 days 07 hours 46 minutes.

Answer 2

It was a parachute packer that worked in a cotton mill. The USSR wanted to have the first women in space and they had to choose a woman that was a good Communist first. This is who they chose:
Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova
Astronaut Group: Female Group - 1962. Inactive Entered space service: 12 March 1962. Left space service: 30 April 1997. Number of Flights: 1.00. Total Time: 2.95 days.

Tereshkova was born and raised in Maslennikovo, a small town in the Yaroslavl Region. Her family included a younger brother, Vladimir, and an older sister.
Tereshkova did not begin school until age eight, at the end of the war. But at 17 she had to leave school and begin working at the textile plant in order to help support the family. But she was ambitious, and wanted more from life. She continued her education by correspondence course and learned sky diving through the DOSAAF Aviation Club in Yaroslavl, an auxiliary organization of the Soviet Air Force. Tereshkova made her first jump on 21 May 1959. Thereafter she set up the Textile Mill Workers Parachute Club and became its first head. Two years later she became secretary of the local Komsomol (Young Communist League) and had earned certification as a cotton-spinning technology expert.

Answer 7

Valentina Tereshkova. Sally Ride was only the first AMERICAN woman in space.

Tereshkova went up in 1963, Ride went up in 1983.

Answer 8

The first human in space was Russian Yuri Gagarin, who was launched into space on April 12, 1961 aboard Vostok 1. The first woman was Russian Valentina Tereshkova, launched into space in June 1963 aboard Vostok 6.

Alan Shepard became the first American in space in May 1961, while the first American woman in space was Sally Ride on June 18, 1983.

The first mission to orbit the moon was Apollo 8, which included William Anders who was born in Hong Kong, making him the first Asian-born astronaut in 1968. On 15 October 2003, Yang Liwei became China's first astronaut on the Shenzhou 5 spacecraft.

The first non-governmental space traveler was Byron K. Lichtenberg, an MIT researcher who flew on Space Shuttle mission STS-9 in 1983.[7] In December 1990, Toyohiro Akiyama became the first commercial space traveler as a reporter for Tokyo Broadcasting System, who paid for his flight. The first self-funded space tourist was Dennis Tito onboard the Russian spacecraft Soyuz TM-3 on 28 April 2001. The first person to fly on an entirely privately-funded mission was Mike Melvill, piloting SpaceShipOne flight 15P on a sub-orbital journey.

The Soviet Union, through its Intercosmos program, allowed people from other socialist countries to fly on its missions. An example is Vladimir Remek, a Czech, who became the first non-Soviet European in space in 1978 on a Russian Soyuz rocket. On July 23, 1980, Pham Tuan of Vietnam became the first Asian in space when he flew aboard Soyuz 37. Also in 1980, Cuban Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez became the first person of African descent to fly in space. (The first person born in Africa to fly in space was Patrick Baudry.) In April 1985, Taylor Wang became the first Chinese-born person in space; later that year, Rodolfo Neri became the first Mexican-born person in space. In 1991, Helen Sharman became the first Briton to fly in space. In 2002, Mark Shuttleworth became the first citizen of an African country to fly in space.

The youngest person to fly in space is Russian Gherman Titov, who was roughly 26 years old when he flew Vostok 2 (he was also the first to suffer space sickness), and the oldest is John Glenn, who was 77 when he flew on STS-95. The longest stay in space was 438 days by Russian Valeri Polyakov. As of 2006, the most spaceflights by an individual astronaut was seven, a record held by both Jerry L. Ross and Franklin Chang-Diaz. The furthest distance from Earth an astronaut has traveled was 401,056 km (during the Apollo 13 emergency).
