A female Soviet cosmonaut had her last conversation in space before her death in 1961, recorded by two young Italians.
It can be said that being an astronaut and traveling in space are not for the faint of heart. Just think, those astronauts are alone up there for a long time. Think of all the things that could go wrong. Of course, not all space missions were perfect and flawless.
A very strange accident occurred which no one can explain to this day. It includes one Soviet cosmonaut's final moments in space at the start of the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union.
Many people remember when the first trip to orbit was successful and the first man walked on the moon. On April 12, 1961, Russia successfully put the first man into orbit. Yuri Gagarin piloted the Vostok capsule. The United States followed Russia's footsteps a month later by sending their own astronaut Alan Shepard on a suborbital mission during the Mercury space program. Sensing this was a match, Russia was ready to send another man into space. However, this time they will surpass Gagarin's record and send him into multiple orbits.

The story is that the Soviets planned to launch the mission before the Americans sent a second astronaut around Earth. American John Glenn would finally achieve that mission on February 20, 1962. However, the next manned Vostok orbital launch would take place on May 16, 1961. The capsule ended up making 17 circuits around Earth.
Although the Russians were already ahead of the Americans by achieving 17 circuits around the Earth, they decided to go one more higher: sending the first woman into space.
Everything seemed to go well during the operation. However, before the woman could re-enter the atmosphere, something went terribly wrong. What happened next cannot be explained and no one knows exactly what happened. It will send a chill through anyone who reads these reports.
Although these reports have not been exactly proven correct, the story goes that a full week had passed by the time the re-entry was attempted. By then the ship's oxygen supply was running low and almost depleted. One conversation was recorded before the woman suddenly disappeared from the radio. The woman ended up calling the radio (translated of course):
"Listen ... listen! Come on! Come on in ... Talk to me! Talk to me! I'm hot ... I'm hot! What? Forty-five? What? Forty-five? Fifty? Yes... yes ... Breathing... Breathing... Oxygen... Oxygen... I'm getting hot... Isn't this dangerous? All... Yes... How is this? What? Speak to me! I'm transmitting How to? Yes what? Our transmission starts now... forty one... like this... yes... I feel warm... I feel warm... all of it... it's warm ... I feel hot... I see a flame... I see a flame! I'm hot... I'm hot... Thirty-two... Thirty-two... Forty-one... Am I going to crash? Yeah ... Yes... I'm hot... I'm hot! I'll be back in..."
Looks like the re-entry didn't go well. The ship seemed to overheat as the woman was slowly being burned alive by the ever-increasing temperature. Knowing that her fate is imminent, she becomes emotional towards the end.

After that last recording, the radio went silent; Nothing was heard from the woman. Three days later, on May 26, 1961, the Soviet Union announced that the ship had returned to Earth. The ship was badly burned without a woman on board. The satellite was about the size of a bus and its launch was never detected. To this day, the Russian government denies that a tragedy took place. They avoid radio tapings when trying to get media attention.
The Russians are said to have several recordings of the missing astronauts over the years. As in the case of this woman, they continue to deny that those people were ever in space
Lost Astronaut Rumors
I once heard a story that the Soviet Union lost a female astronaut who ejected from the atmosphere during re-entry in the 1960s. NASA allegedly listened in as the Soviets spoke to her until she was out of bounds. However, I have never seen anything to substantiate this story. Could this be true and still classified or is it an urban legend?
- Question from Stephen Edschon Despite the somewhat morbid subject matter of this question, it turned out to be one of the most interesting and wacky topics I've ever researched. I believe the origin of the rumor you have heard is a pair of Italian brothers who established an amateur spacecraft tracking station in the 1960s. Located near Turin, the tower was named Torre Bert and was equipped with a series of electronic devices to intercept radio communications. Achille and Gian Battista
