The spaceflight is scheduled to lift off at 8.05 IST on Friday (Thursday, 9:35 pm EST) will take along the most rookie crew since 1988 as five of the seven members have never flown in space before.

Besides Sunita, the crew includes mission commander Mark Polansky, pilot William Oefelein, mission specialists Joan Higginbotham; Nicholas Patrick; lead spacewalker Bob Curbeam; and the European Space Agency's Christer Fuglesang, who will become the first Swede in space.

NASA says the Discovery shuttle will be on the most complex mission yet -- to give the International Space Station a new electricity system. The STS-116 will drop off Sunita for a six-month stay at the space lab.

German astronaut Thomas Reiter of the European Space Agency, will return to earth in place of Sunita.

"I just can't wait to get to my new home," she said. "I have always wanted to fly a long-duration mission," Sunita said.

"A long-duration spaceflight will supply answers... to what happens to the human body, how materials work in space."
