Kalpana Chawla broke ~atmospheres 🚀 🪐 as the first Indian-American to travel to space. Coming from a small town in India, she dreamed of being an astronaut. As a NASA astronaut, she was assigned to the Columbia shuttle and her responsibilities included being the prime robotic arm operator and conducting research on low gravity.
Though her life was tragically cut short in the 2003 Columbia disaster, her legacy continues to be honored by a 2020 NASA commercial spacecraft launched in her name, the science she helped advance, and the generations she inspired.
