Who is sunita williams

Spacewalking is one daring task where a decision of a millisecond can become a reason for life or death. Once a woman with the most spacewalks, Astronaut Sunita Williams revealed how spacewalking can give a fatal challenge to even the one who has decades of training. In a webinar organised by Kalam Centre, Delhi, Sunita Williams said that while spacewalking it is always on the back of the mind whether the hands are holding handrails very tight or if the feet are well adjusted in the little platforms. While speaking to Samrat Sharma of Financial Express Online, the astronaut with more than 50 hours of spacewalking experience further said that in the worst-case scenario of being flown due to unbalance, there is a small jet pack known as safer which has a limited amount of nitrogen and can help the astronaut fly back, however, no one had used it so far. How do astronauts work while spacewalking? Sunita Williams added that while spacewalking, hands have more work than legs as the legs are there to support while hands are used in translating from one place to another. After reaching the spot of work, the astronauts lock their feet in the small platforms and get their hands free to work. She also underlined that there is a chance to turn upside-down due to zero gravity and get confused but certain instruments like an antenna, etc, help astronauts to identify the correct direction and orient themselves accordingly.

Williams will be the pilot and Wilmore will command the mission, the US space agency announced in a report on 16 June. The crew will live and work at the The launch date is yet to be determined. Previously, Williams was the backup test pilot for CFT and assigned as the commander of NASA's Boeing Starliner-1 mission, Starliner's first post-certification mission. In her current role as the Crew Flight Test pilot, Williams will be replacing NASA astronaut Nicole Mann, who was originally assigned to the mission in 2018. Mann was later reassigned to the agency's SpaceX Crew-5 mission in 2021. A short duration mission with two astronaut test pilots will be enough to attain NASA and Boeing's testing goals for the Crew Flight Test. Williams and Wilmore will test the Starliner's ability to safely conduct operational crewed missions to and fro the International Space Station, according to the US space agency. NASA has plans in place to extend the CFT's docked duration for up to six months and deploy an additional astronaut later, if required. This course of action will be undertaken to protect against "unforeseen events with crew transportation to the station". Born in Euclid, Ohio, and raised in Needham, Massachusetts, Williams is the second American astronaut of Indian-origin to go into space, after Kalpana Chawla, who died in the Columbia disaster. Sunita Williams (previously Sunita Pandya) has held two space records--most spacewalks by a woman and most spacewalk time for a woman...

She entered astronaut training in 1998. She then traveled to Moscow, Russia. There she received training in Space Career NASA On December 9, 2006, Williams flew aboard the space shuttle Discovery to the ISS. While at the space station, she made four space walks that totaled more than 29 hours outside the spacecraft. She spent a total of more than 195 days in space. Both of these were records for women in space. (She held the record for most days in space for a woman until 2015, when Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti spent more than 199 days in space.) In April 2007 Williams became the first person in space to complete the Boston Marathon by running on the station’s treadmill. She returned to Earth at Edwards Air Force Base in California on June 22. NASA Williams flew to the ISS again on July 15, ...
