Title: Kalpana Chawla - Bio of Astronaut Kalpana Chawla
Description:

Kalpana Chawla died aboard the shuttle Columbia minutes before its scheduled landing no Feb 1, 2003. Kalpana Chawla and I have a common mother-tongue, Punjabi, so I can tell you that the word Kalpana means imagination. It must indeed have taken courage and a lot of imagination for this small town girl to become the first woman of Indian origin in space. This is a brief bio.
