Valentina Tereshkova was born in 1937 in Russia. She started working

when she was 16. She also joined a local flying club and soon became a
talented parachutist. Her talent for skydiving led her to the Soviet space
programme. In 1962, while still a factory worker, she was accepted along
with three other woman parachutists and a female pilot into the
programme. Together, they began intensive training to become
cosmonauts. Tereshkova joined the Soviet Air Force. She became an Air
Force officer after completing her training and passing an examination. In
1963, at the age of 26, Tereshkova became the first woman to travel in
space. Her spacecraft Vostok 6 was guided by an automatic control system.
She travelled into space in Vostok 6 on June 16, 1963 and successfully
returned to Earth three days later. After her historic space flight, Valentina
Tereshkova received many awards, including the Hero of the Soviet Union
and the Order of Lenin. She never flew in space again, and later became a
test pilot and an instructor. She also completed a degree in technical
sciences.
