ACHIEVEMENTS and CONTRIBUTIONS of women in space
Answers
the first Friday in May is International Space Day, and this year, we are extra-ready to celebrate. Between an inspiring portrayal of NASA’s first female mathematicians in Hidden Figures and astronaut Peggy Whitson breaking yet another record, women working in the field of space technology are in the spotlight lately.
These days, the sight of a female astronaut is relatively common, but that hasn’t always been the case. Even before cosmonaut Valentina Terskova piloted the Vostok 6 in orbit around the Earth in 1963 (becoming the first woman in space), women have worked in space programs — but for a long time, most of their work was done on Earth. Since Terskova’s flight, however, female astronauts, engineers, pilots, and scientists have developed technology, performed experiments, made repairs, commanded crews, and made all kinds of progress to further our understanding of space.
