Sources
- Valentina Tereshkova -- orientation only, not cited as scored evidence.
- Valentina Tereshkova (Q44371) -- verified live before scoring
- Nikolai Kamanin, personal diaries (published in Russian as "Skrytyi Kosmos"/"Hidden Space", 1995-2001), compiled/translated summary hosted on astronautix.com (ed. Mark Wade) -- Kamanin was the officer directly in charge of cosmonaut selection and training; a near-primary, non-self, dated day-by-day source. Fetched and read in full this session (the full ~874KB page, searched programmatically for every Tereshkova-specific entry with its date header).
- "Tereshkova" biographical entry, astronautix.com (ed. Mark Wade) -- same site/compiler as the Kamanin diaries page above (counted as the same provenance perspective, not a second independent one). Fetched and read in full.
- Ben Evans, "'The Common Touch': Selecting the First Woman Cosmonaut", AmericaSpace -- independent space-history journalism, part 1 of a two-part series on Tereshkova's selection and training. Fetched and read in full.
- Ben Evans, "'On the Edge': The Legacy of Valentina Tereshkova", AmericaSpace -- part 2 of the same series, covering the Vostok 6 flight's specific conduct issues and her post-flight career. Fetched and read in full.
- "Sally Ride and Valentina Tereshkova: Changing the Course of Human Space Exploration", NASA History Office -- independent institutional account, quoting Kamanin's selection-era assessment of her directly. Fetched and read in full.
- "Russia's First Woman Cosmonaut Turns 70", Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty -- independent press account reporting Tereshkova's own 2007 disclosure (to Rossiyskaya Gazeta) of the Vostok 6 descent-program error. Fetched and read in full.
- Anatoly Zak, "Missions of Vostok-5 and Vostok-6 spacecraft", russianspaceweb.com -- independent space historian/journalist, used for flight-conduct context and mythbusting (confirms the flight was not life-threatening despite documented issues). Fetched and read in full.
