Valentina Vladimirov

Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova (Валентина Владимировна Терешкова, born 6 March 1937) is a member of the Russian State Duma, engineer, and former cosmonaut. She is the first and youngest woman to have flown in space with a solo mission on the Vostok 6 on 16 June 1963. She orbited the Earth 48 times, spent almost three days in space, and remains the only woman to have been on a solo space mission. Alex Gifreu, present edition designer, has created a series of visuals made from pictures of Russian astronauts, in an homage to their spirits and idea of cosmos. The one chosen for this year’s guide cover is Valentina’s portrait, and we love it! #loopbarcelona #artistfilm #video #videoart #design #cosmos #outerspace #valentinavladimirovnatereshkova #valentinatereshkova #russia #space #cosmonaut #vostok #vostok6 #woman #womaninspace #spacemission #earth #universe
