“You are just your intelligence.”
She had covered 10.67 million km, which was equivalent to travelling around the Earth, 252 times. Her first space mission commenced on 19th November, 1997, as part of a six member crew aboard space shuttle Columbia. In this mission, she spent 372 hoars in space. She was assigned the task of deploying the Spartan Satellite.
After finishing this project, she assumed technical duties in the space station. Her work was lauded by her peers.

Unfortunately, the shuttle disintegrated over Texas, while re-entering the Earth’s atmosphere on 1st February, 2003, with the loss of all seven members.
She was posthumously awarded Congressional Space Medal of Honour, NASA Space Flight Medal and Distinguished Service Medal. The Kalpana Chawla Outstanding Recent Alumni Award at University of Colorado, was renamed after her. An asteroid, a hill peak on Mars, an Indian series of satellites, a NASA supercomputer are all named after her. Government of Haryana established Kalpana Chawla Planetarium at Kurukshetra. A medical college was named after her and opened in her birthplace in 2013. She died young, and left an indelible imprint on the minds of aspiring youngsters to live a life of quality. Her spirit encourages us to take risks and not be afraid of the challenges. She was a gem the vacuum created by her death can never be filled. As her brother said:
“She is a permanent star in the sky. She will always be up there where she belongs.”
