In 1963, Valentina Terechkova became the first woman to fly into space. However, although women have always been involved in space and space exploration, and made major accomplishments, they still remain an overwhelming minority among the rank and file at most space agencies and in the wider industry. In this episode, Chiara Cocchiara, System Operations Engineer at the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites and an Atlantic Dialogues Emerging Leader alumna, discusses the different challenges women encounter in the space industry and the recent work done in different space agencies to increase diversity within astronaut pools.
