- First woman to travel in space, 16 - 19 June 1963.
- Her ex-husband, Andriyan Nikolayev, also a Russian astronaut, had a heart attack while judging the All Russian Rural Sports Games in Cheboksary, Russia on 6 July 2004. He was taken to a local hospital and died that same day. He was 74 years old.
- Her call sign was 'Chaika' (Seagull).
- She told reporters in 2013 that engineers had made a mistake in designing the ship's controls, which would have left her stranded if she hadn't noticed it in time. "It was programmed to raise the orbit instead of landing. I put the new data in and it worked fine." An engineer had disclosed the glitch in 1993.
- She went on to an official career, holding various jobs and honorary titles. She holds a Parliament seat, serving as deputy chairman of the foreign affairs committee in the lower house.
- Take off your hat, sky, I'm coming! [shouted as her spacecraft blasted off]
- When I ejected, I was overcome with a quiet horror - There was a lake below me. My first thought: My God, they sent one woman, and she's going to end up in the water.
