June 16-19, 1963. Tereshkova passed within three miles of Vostok 5, launched June 14th.
She orbited the Earth 48 times in her 70 hour and 50 minute flight. Not until 1982 did
another woman (Svetlana Savitskaya) travel in space. Soviet leader Nikita Khruschev presided
at Tereshkova's marriage to cosmonaut Andrian Nikolayev. The couple's daughter Elena was
the first child born to two space travelers. Tereshkova later served in the Supreme Soviet and
made many goodwill visits abroad. Fine condition.
