Kalpana Chawla (March 17, 1962[2][a] February 1, 2003) was born in Karnal, India. She was the first IndianAmerican astronaut[3]and first Indian woman in space.[4] She first flew on Space Shuttle Columbia in 1997 as a mission
specialist and primary robotic armoperator. In 2003, Chawla was one of the seven crew members killed in the Space
Shuttle Columbia disaster.[5
Early life[edit]
Kalpana Chawla was born in Karnal, India. She completed her earlier schooling at Tagore Baal Niketan Senior Secondary
School, Karnal and completed her Bachelor of Engineering degree in Aeronautical Engineering at Punjab Engineering
College at Chandigarhin 1982. She moved to the United States in 1982 where she obtained a Master of Science degree in
aerospace engineering from theUniversity of Texas at Arlington in 1984. Determined to become an astronaut even in the
face of the Challenger disaster, Chawla went on to earn a second Masters in 1986 and a PhD in aerospace engineering in
1988 from the University of Colorado at Boulder.[6]
Career[edit]
In 1988, she began working at the NASA Ames Research Center as Vice President of Overset Methods, Inc. where she
didComputational fluid dynamics (CFD) research on Vertical/Short Takeoff and Landing concepts.[6] Chawla held a
Certificated Flight Instructor rating for airplanes, gliders and Commercial Pilot licenses for single and multi-engine
airplanes, seaplanes and gliders.[7]
Becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen in April 1991, Chawla applied for the NASA Astronaut Corps.[2] She joined the Corps
in March 1995 and was selected for her first flight in 1996. She spoke the following words while traveling in the
weightlessness of space, "You are just your intelligence". She had traveled 10.67 million km, as many as 252 times
around the Earth.
Her first space mission began on November 19, 1997, as part of the six-astronaut crew that flew the Space Shuttle
Columbia flight STS-87. Chawla was the first Indian-born woman and the second Indian person to fly in space, following
cosmonaut Rakesh Sharma who flew in 1984 on the Soyuz T-11. On her first mission, Chawla traveled over 10.4 million
miles in 252 orbits of the earth, logging more than 372 hours in space.[6] During STS-87, she was responsible for
deploying the Spartan Satellite which malfunctioned, necessitating a spacewalk by Winston Scott and Takao Doi to
capture the satellite. A five-month NASA investigation fully exonerated Chawla by identifying errors in software
interfaces and the defined procedures of flight crew and ground control.
After the completion of STS-87 post-flight activities, Chawla was assigned to technical positions in the astronaut office to
work on the space station, her performance in which was recognized with a special award from her peers.

In 2000 she was selected for her second flight as part of the crew of STS-107. This mission was repeatedly delayed due to
scheduling conflicts and technical problems such as the July 2002 discovery of cracks in the shuttle engine flow liners. On
January 16, 2003, Chawla finally returned to space aboard Columbia on the ill-fated STS-107 mission. Chawla's
responsibilities included the microgravityexperiments, for which the crew conducted nearly 80 experiments studying
earth and space science, advanced technology development, and astronaut health and safety.
