Since the first [[human spaceflight]] by the [[Soviet Union]], citizens of 41 countries have flown in space. For each nationality, the launch date of the first mission is listed. The list is based on the nationality of the person at the time of the launch. Only 3 of the 41 "first flyers" have been women ([[Helen Sharman]] for the United Kingdom in 1991, [[Anousheh Ansari]] for Iran in 2006, and [[Yi So-yeon]] for South Korea in 2008). Only three nations (Soviet Union/Russia, U.S., China) have launched their own crewed spacecraft, with the Soviets/Russians and the American programs providing rides to other nations' astronauts. Twenty-seven "first flights" occurred on Soviet or Russian flights while the United States carried thirteen. |
