According to the European Space Agency, former Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova officially became the first woman in space on June 14, 1963, at the age of 26. Her flight lasted just under three days, which meant she had logged more time in orbit than every US Mercury program astronaut up to that point combined.
