This week we are remembering NASA astronaut Kalpana Chawla, who lost her life in the Columbia disaster. Chawla, who was selected as a NASA astronaut in December 1994, logged a total of 30 days, 14 hours, and 54 minutes in space. The certified flight instructor and aerospace engineer flew two missions to space (STS-87 and STS-107). Born to fly Chawla enjoyed flying from an early age and aspired to become an aerospace engineer. Chawla recalled in a NASA interview that as a child she was active in a local flying club in India where she grew up. Her father would take her to the club where she got her first experiences with small aircraft. “Every once in a while,” Chawla said, “we’d ask my dad if we could get a ride in one of these planes. And, he did take us to the flying club and get us a ride in the Pushpak and a glider that the flying club had.” First Indian-born woman in space Not only did Chawla realize her dream of reaching the stars, she became the first Indian-born woman to rocket into space. On Nov. 19, 1997, she launched aboard Columbia for the STS-87 mission. Chawla served as a mission specialist for the 15-day flight as well as the prime robotic arm operator. STS-87 was the fourth U.S Microgravity Payload flight. The crew primarily conducted experiments studying the affects of weightlessness on physical processes, but also studied and observed the Sun. A lasting legacy Chawla is celebrated today in dozens of memorials across the world for her contributions to space...
