Portrait of a cosmonaut, Svetlana Savitskaya
Soviet cosmonaut Svetlana Savitskaya, the second woman to go into space, the first to perform a space walk, and the only woman to have made two space flights (up to November 1988). Savitskaya went into space in the Soyuz T7 spacecraft on 19 August 1982, and in Soyuz T12 on 17 July 1984. Both craft docked with the Salyut 7 space station. The first woman in space was Valentina Tereshkova in Vostok 6 on 16 June 1963

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable portrait of Svetlana Savitskaya, a trailblazing Soviet cosmonaut who shattered numerous barriers in space exploration. Serving as an emblem of courage and determination, Savitskaya holds the distinction of being the second woman to venture into space, paving the way for future generations of female astronauts. In addition to her groundbreaking achievement as a space traveler, Savitskaya etched her name in history by becoming the first woman ever to perform a mesmerizing spacewalk. Her unparalleled feat remains an inspiration for aspiring astronauts worldwide. The photograph captures Savitskaya's unwavering resolve and unwritten determination that propelled her through two awe-inspiring space flights aboard Soyuz T7 in 1982 and Soyuz T12 in 1984. Both missions successfully docked with the illustrious Salyut 7 space station, further solidifying her legacy within the annals of manned spaceflight. While Valentina Tereshkova paved the way as humanity's first female astronaut back in 1963, it is Svetlana Savitskaya who stands alone as the only woman to have embarked on two separate journeys beyond Earth's atmosphere up until November 1988. This extraordinary print serves not only as a testament to Soviet achievements but also honors all those who contributed to mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge and exploration beyond our planet's boundaries.
