Women in Space: from Valentina Tereshkova to the Artemis Program<\/h1>\n

From invisible pioneers\u2026 to leading figures in space exploration<\/em><\/h2>\n

Just over 50 years ago, during the Apollo 11 Moon Landing<\/strong>, humanity took one of the most important steps in its history: setting foot on the Moon for the first time.<\/p>\n

And yet, the history of women in space had already begun.<\/p>\n

In 1963, Valentina Tereshkova<\/strong><\/a> became the first woman to travel into space aboard the Vostok 6 mission.
