SPACE TRAVELLERS
Rakesh Sharma
Rakesh Sharma became the first Indian citizen to enter space when he flew aboard the Soviet rocket Soyuz T-11 launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome in the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic on 3 April 1984. The Soyuz T-11 spacecraft carrying cosmonauts including Sharma docked and transferred the three member Soviet-Indian international crew, consisting of Yury Malyshev, and Gennadi Strekalov, to the Salyut 7 Orbital Station. Sharma spent 7 days, 21 hours, and 40 minutes aboard the Salyut 7 during which his team conducted scientific and technical studies.
Kalpana Chawla
The first ever woman of Indian origin to visit space was Kalpana Chawla. Born in Karnal, Punjab, Chawla went to America to study engineering in Texas. She ultimately received a PhD in aerospace engineering and thus began her journey toward space. She was one of the six-member crew on STS-87 in 1997 and travelled over 10.4 million miles. The fatal mission ended in disaster when the shuttle disintegrated while re-entering Earth after a successful mission in space. Chawla was awarded Congressional Space Medal of Honour, posthumously
Sunitha Williams
Sunita Williams was selected as an astronaut by NASA in 1998 and is a veteran of two space missions, Expeditions 14/15 and 32/33. NASA Expedition 14/15 (December 9, 2006 to June 22, 2007). Ms. Williams was launched with the crew of STS-116 on December 9, 2006, docking with the International Space Station on December 11, 2006 and Expedition 32/33 (July 14 to November 18, 2012). Again she was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. While on-board, she established a world record for females with four spacewalks totalling 29 hours and 17 minutes.
