Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova training, 1962-3. Footage of training undertaken by Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova (born 1937). Selected in February 1962, she is shown taking numerical and logic tests, followed by tests on her reaction to coloured lights. This is followed by a radio communications lesson with fellow cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin (whose flight on 12 April 1961 made him the first human in space). Tereshkova (at the blackboard) is then shown taking lessons in navigation, plotting a position on a world globe. She is then shown training in cross-country skiing, followed by listening to a vinyl record. This training prepared Tereshkova as she became the first woman in space, launching into Earth orbit on the Vostok 6 mission of 16-19 June 1963. | |
