First woman astronaut launches Science Museum exhibition

 London’s Science Museum is hosting a huge exhibition of Soviet spacecraft and artifacts ever to be seen outside Russia. The first woman that has traveled into space has opened this show.  

Tereshkova traveled into space in 1963. The centerpiece of this fair is the actual craft which carried her back from orbit. The scorched remains of the craft’s heat shield have been put on display. The items in this fair also include engineering models and real spacecraft, equipment and uniforms, archive films, official documents, and drawings and writings from the earliest dreams of space travel long before such machines could be built.
