Earlier this year, Elena Illarianovna Sorokina, a Vostok-era ground test subject and engineer, broke her 50+ year silence on her role as a ground test subject for the preparations for the flight of the first female cosmonaut.

She has recently provided me with a very detailed interview on her experiences which has now been published on the British Interplanetary Society's website, and in 'Spaceflight.'

Fascinating stuff, thanks. There is just so much of the story of those early days still untold.
