Kalpana Chawla, an inspirational figure in the realm of space exploration, shattered the barriers of the sky as the first woman of Indian origin to venture into space.

Joining NASA in the 1990s, Chawla displayed remarkable dedication and expertise, eventually becoming a mission specialist on the Space Shuttle Columbia.
