Yuliya Sergeevna Peresild

5′ 6¼″ (1.68 मी)

Has two daughters, Anna Peresild (b. 2009) and Mariya Peresild (b. 2012), with Aleksey Uchitel.

On October 5, 2021, Ms. Peresild, director Klim Shipenko, and veteran cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov, launched on a Russian rocket toward the International Space Station. Their mission is to shoot scenes for the first feature-length film ("The Challenge") in space. While cinematic sequences in space have long been portrayed on big screens using sound stages and advanced computer graphics, never before has a full-length movie been shot and directed in space.

Peresild, who has Estonian roots, was on 5 October flown to the International Space Station to shoot scenes for an upcoming Russian feature film - the first time a full-length movie is being shot in space.

Her Estonian surname comes from her Estonian paternal great grandparents, who were deported to Russia.
