Kalpana Chawla (March 17, 1962 – February 1, 2003) was born in Karnal, India. She was the first Indian - American astronaut and first Indian woman in space. She first flew on Space Shuttle Columbia in 1997 as a mission specialist and primary robotic arm operator. In 2003, Kalpana Chawla was one of the seven crew members killed in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster.

She is the pride of India and a true epitome of woman empowerment in its true essence. She achieved a lot in a very short span of her life and that is what inspired many girls and women not just from India but across the world. This podcast is dedicated to Kalpana Chawla and her achievements (Part 2).
