Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova ( born 6 March 1937) is the first woman in space, now a retired astronaut. Out of more than four hundred applicants and then out of five finalists, she was selected to pilot Vostoc 6on 16 June 1963 and become the first woman to fly in space. On this mission, lasting almost three days in space, she performed various tests on herself to collect data on the female body's reaction to spaceflight.
