KALPANA CHAWLA SECOND INDIAN TO BE IN SPACE SCIENCE V

Kalpana Chawla was an American astronaut and the first

woman of Indian origin in space. She first flew on Space

Shuttle Columbia in 1997 as a mission specialist and

primary robotic arm operator .

 

 

 

Kalpana Chawla was born and brought up in Karnal, Haryana. While she completed

her schooling from Tagore School, Karnal in 1976, she went on to get a bachelor’s

degree in aeronautical engineering from Punjab Engineering College in 1982. The

same year she moved to US to pursue a Master of Science degree in aerospace

engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington.The Indian astronaut died just

16 minutes before landing as the Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated over Texas

during its re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere.

SUNITA WILLIAMS IN SPACE CLASS V

 

 Sunita Williams  The Indian American astronaut  Sunita Williams

  has set a record by carrying out maximum number of space walks 

 by a women astronauts .

The Indian-American astronaut visited
 

India in September 2007 and arrived in Ahmedabad on

September 18, 2007, when she came for a week long visit to

India.

The International Space Station (ISS) is an experiment facility

, where it's planned that up to 7 astronauts can safely live and

conduct experiments in space. The ISS consists of "experiment

modules", where the astronauts work and conduct experiments, and

 the "living quarters" where the astronauts live their daily lives.
SUNITA'S EXPERIENCE OF LIVING IN SPACE !
Astronauts cannot sit at one place they keep on floating in space  from one end to another end .

Food --- Space foods are in plastic containers which is ready by

adding cold or hot water .some food items can be heated in oven.

Food such as fruit , bread and nuts can be eaten  as on earth. A

straw is used to suck liquid out of drinking pack, so liquid do not

spill and cause damage to machine . Astronauts float and catch

 their floating food packets

Water float around as blobs .

Air pressure inside the space shuttle is 1 atmosphere  which is same

 as on earth .Temperature and humidity are controlled  so

astronauts live comfortably  on earth .

When astronauts venture outside the space shuttle to work in space

 they need space suit. This suit is designed to protect astronauts

from harsh conditions as space radiations and vacuum of space.

There is no need to comb hair as hair keeps standing .

 

Astronauts are unable to do laundry in space so they bring extra

shirts and pants .
Papers  need to be stuck to the wall of space ship.

Astronauts wipe their body clean by using wet towels and wash

 their hair by using waterless shampoo. 

Water does not flow in a zero-gravity environment, the astronauts cannot wash their hands under a faucet as we  do on Earth. So, there are no sinks or showers inside the space shuttle.Waterless shampoo is used since it has no foam, which could spatter inside the Space Shuttle. After washing, they use dry towels to dry themselves off and their washing is done.

The toilet looks similar to a western style toilet that we use on

Earth.  The astronauts fasten their bodies to the toilet, so that, they

won't float away. They then use a vacuum-cleaner-like machine to

suck up the wastes. The wastes are then vacuum-dried.

A curtain, not a door, partitions the toilet space. In the Shuttle, it is

 quite noisy. The sounds from the air conditioning fan, motors, and

 other noises are so loud that when you use the toilet, the sounds

from inside the toilet space cannot be heard outside.

The astronauts sleep in small sleeping compartments by using

sleeping bags. They strap their bodies loosely so that their bodies

 will not float around.Eye masks and earplugs are also

available for the astronauts who are unable to

sleep due to the noise from air conditioning and

other machines.

There is no force of gravity. Astronauts need the proper amount of exercise in order to keep their bones and muscles strong.They will exercise approximately two hours every day using exercise machines, such as treadmills and ergometers.The treadmill is a machine on which, the astronauts do running exercises with their bodies strapped to it. The Ergometer is a machine similar to a bicycle without wheels.

The astronauts do some cleaning between their duties. Astronauts

 clean the meal area, change the air purification system's filters,

collect the garbage, and clean the walls and floors. They use liquid

 detergent, disposable plastic gloves, multi-purpose wiping cloths

 and a vacuum cleaner for cleaning.

 For medical emergencies, the Crew Medical Officer is the person in charge.

 The astronauts spend their leisure time by reading their favorite

books, listening to music, and looking at the Earth. In the

International Space Station, they can watch DVD movies and, once

 a week, they're able to talk with their families.
