After the fight of Yuri Gagarin, the first human being to travel to outer space in 1961, the Soviet
Union decided to send a woman in space. Proletarian Valentina Tereshkova was selected for this
project from among more than four hundred applicants. Since the successful launch of the
spacecraft Vostok-5 on 14 June 1963, Tereshkova began preparing for her own flight. On 16 June
1963, she was dressed in space-suites and taken to the space shuttle launch pad by a bus. After
completing her communication and life support checks, she was sealed inside Vostok-6. Finishing
a two-hour countdown, Vostok-6 launched faultlessly. Although Tereshkova experienced nausea
and physical discomfort for much of the flight, she orbited the earth 48 times and spent almost
three days in space. She also maintained a flight log and took photographs of the horizon, which
were later used to identify aerosol layers within the atmosphere.
