alpana Chawla epitomizes strength, struggle, dedication, hard work and success. It is indeed our pleasure to honour the spirit Kof Kalpana and to motivate girl students to soar high with their

aspirations in their lives. I congratulate the winners of these awards and hope that they too will bring laurels to the nation and the world in the future. May you set lofty goals and achieve them by your perseverance and positive attitude.

People with positive attitude not only excel themselves but can motivate others also for better performance. Always remember, success and results in all endeavours cannot be predicted. We can only make efforts. Often we do commit mistakes and not succeed in the first attempt. We should not get angry or frustrated. But improve upon and make another effort. It is this attitude only which can ultimately bring success.

I can, I will, nothing can stop me are the key words to success. Remember the saying 'God helps those who help themselves”

02 I A SUCCESS STORY OF KALPANA CHAWLA

hen people were busy contemplating how women could be empowered, a simple next door girl from Karnal was Wtotally lost in her imagination; she dreamt to touch the

stars and walk over the moon. She achieved her dream and won the race of the life and became the real champion. She faced the challenges that life had thrown to her, she proved her mettle as a space woman. The world bent before her to honour the brave woman in her. I also salute her.

It is indeed my pleasure in retelling the success story of Kalpana Chawla. Kalpana Chawla is a popular name today, everyone idolizes her, but Kalpana was a very simple girl who had no hunger for fame. She only did what she wanted to, and she became successful because she chased her dream with sincerity. Kalpana always insisted that you should do the things of your interest because it makes you passionate and zealous towards your work. There is a great message in Kalpana's story that parents should not impose their expectations on their children, let them decide their path, and this will make them sincere towards their goal in life.

Kalpana Chawla Memorial Award holds a special place in my heart for two reasons; firstly that it is associated with the mission of Biyani Girls College which is to make women strong and significant in the society and secondly, it gave me an opportunity to know the great personality of Kalpana so closely. I also take the privilege here of thanking Shri. B.L Chawla for helping me with the incidents related to Kalpana's life. I sincerely hope that the Success Story of Kalpana Chawla will inspire the youth of today to be Kalpana of tomorrow.

A SUCCESS STORY OF KALPANA CHAWLA I 03

am pleased to know that your esteemed institution is bringing out a newsletter which is to be distributed among the students who are being honored with "Kalpana IChawla Memorial Awards" by your institution. I am quoting here a few lines about

Kalpana, which will inspire & awaken the thoughts of young minds who are trying to emulate the good works done by virtuous personalities.

I feel the following quote by my daughter Kalpana summarises the essence of her being.

''Material interests are not the only guiding light. It is something you'd enjoy doing in the long run. Take the time to figure out how to get there. The quickest way may not necessarily be the best. The Journey matters as much as the goal. Listen to the sounds of Nature. Wishing you the best on your trek towards your dreams. Take good care of our fragile planet.''

She not only said this but lived it in every moment of her life. Content with her simple needs, she encouraged family and relatives to donate time and money to credible organizations (e.g. WPSI) who are committed to protection of Nature and wild life.

And she cared for our 'Fragile planet'. She together with her friends would actually carry a big bag to pick up all the trash they encountered during their Birding walks and backpacking treks.

In another interview she said 'earth is the only campground that we have. There is no other campground'.

It is really hard to convey how remarkable an accomplishment it has been for my daughter to have become an American astronaut just 12 years after migrating to the US as a student with only fire in her belly, focus and fortitude in assimilating knowledge.

In 1994, she was in a group of just 20 or so astronauts selected from an application pool of 4000! She was one of the 6 civilians to have been selected. In her second mission, she was the only civilian astronaut. All the others were from military.

That means she qualified herself for the position (Academics, flying experience, research, adventure and physical fitness) without the benefit of being a military person. This would have been amazing enough for someone born and raised in the US, used to that country's educational system, society, culture, customs, work ethic and the professional atmosphere.

And she was ever grateful to her teachers right from her school days to her Doctoral studies in US and kept in touch with them all. When national science center Delhi asked her about an idea on what memento she would like to carry to space on their behalf, she suggested making a banner honoring the teachers of the world.

And I, like my dearest daughter Kalpana believe that there is a Kalpana in each of you. You only have to find it!A

Brave Cosmos Lady:

Kalpana Chawla

Kalpana Chawla (17 March,

1962 - 1 February 2003 was an

India-born American astronaut

and space shuttle mission

specialist. She was one of the

seven crew members of Space

Shuttle Columbia during

mission STS-107 when the

shuttle disintegrated upon

reentry into the Earth's

atmosphere. Kalpana Chawla is

a posthumous recipient of the

Congressional Space Medal of

Honor. She was born in Karnal,

Haryana, India. Kalpana is a

Sanskrit name meaning "idea"

or "imagination." Her interest

in flight was inspired by J. R. D.

Tata, a pioneering Indian pilot

and an industrialist.


alpana Chawla was born in the city of Karnal in Haryana, in a home Kof three elder sisters and one elder brother. During her early life, Kalpana was nurtured to an archetypal Indian family in the mid-20th century, with education taking centre-stage. However, she was unusual in every thing she did. Kalpana Chawla was born on March 17, 1962 in Karnal. Kalpana Chawla's parents originally came to Karnal (city in Haryana) from the Multan district of West Punjab (now in Pakistan) after the partition of India after Independence.

Even as a child, Kalpana Chawla began to show her independent nature and she even selected her own name “Monto” at home. Her parents were always wondering that Kalpana had not been formally named at a proper ceremony. When Sunita and her aunt took Kalpana for admission to a nearby nursery school, the Principal asked her name. Sunita answered that they had three names in mind - Kalpana, Jyotsna and Sunaina, but they were yet to decide. The Principal, therefore, asked the little girl (Kalpana) as to which name would she prefer. And she promptly replied, Kalpana. It becomes pretty obvious that early life of Kalpana Chawla had started with much fun and frolic, with dollops of discipline put in. Like the name she chose, which means ìmagination`, Kalpana Chawla was a highly imaginative child.

During summer, when the family slept on the roof of their small house in an isolated corner of Model Town colony, she would watch the night sky. Staring at the twinkling stars, she wondered what they were dreaming, they beckoned her and left her wondering whether it was ever possible to reach them. She would often ask questions about space, but would rarely receive a satisfactory answer. Into her early years of life, stars captivated Kalpana so much that once when she and her classmates built a physical geography map of India covering the floor of an entire classroom in her school, Tagore Baal Niketan, she covered its ceiling completely with stars - sparkling dots marked on blackened newspapers.

From that day on, flying became her first love. She Karnal is one of the few Indian towns with a flying club. It became as excited as a child whenever she saw planes or was called ̀ Karnal Aviation Club` and is now a part of the talked about them. Early life of Kalpana Chawla can be Haryana Institute of Civil Aviation. Here, small Pushpak termed as an incredible breakaway from typical Indian planes and gliders regularly take off and land. As her girl`s routine life, with variances gradually becoming a house was a few kilometres away from the Club, her regular affair. Although Kalpana never scored the favourite pastime was to climb up to the roof and watch highest marks in her class, she was always among the them go roaring over her head. Bewitched, she would first five. Sincere, hard-working and attentive, she wave her hand at the pilot if the plane flew low over the respected and admired her teachers. She enjoyed house. Since her early years in life, Kalpana Chawla was subjects like English, Hindi and geography, but her fantastically attracted to the blue emptiness above, and favourite subject was science, taught by Nirmala

Namboodripad, who took pains to make the subject simple and interesting. Kalpana also wrote poetry and danced at the annual day celebrations. She loved cycling and running and at sports meets she always came first in the races. Friendly and helpful, she often played badminton and dodge ball with boys. As she grew into a young woman, she cut her hair short and never put on any make-up. She refused to cook, never ironed her clothes and began to wear trousers or jeans. In those days, most girls in Karnal completed their education, got married and settled down. But Kalpana`s teachers at school encouraged the girls not to waste their education and do something more worthwhile in life. Belonging to middle or lower middle class families, the girls were also keen on higher studies and earning a living. And here lies the yawning difference between Kalpana and her other counterparts. Since her early life, i.e., by the tenth class, Kalpana had also made up her mind. Whenever any visitor asked her what she wanted to become in life, she would readily reply, À Flight Engineer!` She thought that a flight engineer designs aeroplanes, as nobody had explained that a flight engineer navigates an aeroplane during its flight. Once she saw a photograph of the Viking lander on the planet Mars in a popular weekly and her imaginative mind woke up to the possibility of

alpana Chawla as a student was hugely interested in Kscience and always desired to make it into engineering and the science of space. Hence her educational life pivoted around that very subject only. Hence, Kalpana took admission in DAV College for Women for her pre-University lessons. Later, she got herself admitted to Dyal Singh College, just to pursue engineering from the illustrious Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh. Each of her dreams were answered, owing to her tremendous will power and zealousness towards studying aeronautics. Graduated from Tagore School, Karnal, India, in 1976. She did bachelor of science degree in aeronautical engineering

She moved to the United States in 1982 and She held an FCC issued Technician Class Amateur Radio

license with the call sign KD5ESI. Kalpana Chawla married Jean-Pierre Harrison in 1983 and became a naturalized United States citizen in 1990.

Kalpana Chawla had an indeed redefining educational career, starting from India and extending to the top universities in the United States. She became well-known and admired in every institution she went. However, Kalpana`s move in NASA can be called the most significant and crucial stint, from when her dream to fly beyond the earth took firm shape. In 1988, Kalpana Chawla started work at NASA Ames Research Center in the area of powered-lift computational fluid dynamics. Her research concentrated on simulation of complex air flows encountered around aircraft such as the Harrier in "ground-effect." Following completion of this project she supported research in mapping of flow solvers to parallel computers, and testing of these

solvers by carrying out powered lift computations. In 1993 Kalpana Chawla joined Overset Methods Inc., Los Altos, California, as Vice President and Research Scientist to form a team with other researchers specializing in simulation of moving multiple body problems. She was responsible for development and implementation of efficient techniques to perform aerodynamic optimization. Results of various projects that Kalpana Chawla participated in are documented in technical conference papers and journals. After finishing her Ph.D. in 1988, Kalpana Chawla joined the MCAT Institute, San Jose, California, as a Research Scientist for a project of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Ames Research Center. Here, she did simulation and analysis of air flows around aircraft using powerful supercomputers like Cray. Five years degree and three year related experience, she decided

MAIDEN SPACE MISSION

KALPANA CHAWLA’S

FINAL SPACE MISSIONColumbia accidentally broke down just 16 minutes before landing, burning and annihilating everything and everyone with it. This shocking affair though did bodily terminate Kalpana`s journey in the universe, but she shall always be remembered as that heroic lady who fought every fear to pursue her passion in the world as well as in NASA.

Her brother, Sanjay Chawla, remarked "To me, my sister is not dead. She is immortal. Isn't that what a star is? She is a permanent star in the sky. She will always be up there where she belongs.”

"None of our astronauts traveled a longer path to space than Kalpana Chawla," U.S. President George W. Bush said. "She left India as a student but she would see the nation of her birth, all of it, from hundreds of miles above.”

“When the sad news reached her hometown," Bush said, "an administrator at her high school recalled, 'She always said she alpana Chawla`s final space wanted to reach the stars. She went mission was in association there and beyond.' Kalpana's native Kwith NASA yet again, on board country mourns her today and so the Space Shuttle Columbia, the one does her adopted land.”in which she made her first voyage,

with flight STS-107. In spite of a first flight, she was most eager to resume a space flight, a rare among astronauts. Her mission this time however was purely scientific, with more complex work to be performed. Kalpana was assigned as the Flight Engineer and the Mission Specialist for STS-107. Her experiments in space would bring about path-breaking results for earth and its population.

In 2000 Kalpana Chawla was handpicked for her second flight, as part of the crew of STS-107. This mission was stayed back time and again owing to scheduling conflicts and technical inconvenience, like the July 2002 discovery of cracks in the shuttle engine flow liners. On January 16, 2003 Kalpana eventually returned to space aboard Columbia on the doomed STS-107 mission. Everything was cut short quite pathetically, when

In an unprecedented space tragedy, U.S. Space Shuttle Columbia, carrying India-born American astronaut Kalpana Chawla and six others, broke apart in flames as it streaked over Texas towards its landing strip on Saturday, 1 February 2003, killing all seven on board. The shuttle lost contact with NASA at about 9 a.m. (19.30 hrs 1ST) as it came in for landing. It was flying at an altitude of over 200,000 feet and traveling at over 20,000 km. per hour when ground control lost contact with the shuttle. Columbia had lifted off on 16 January 2003, from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida. It had stayed in orbit for 16 days and the seven-member crew conducted 80 experiments before it began its downward journey, which ended in tragedy. This was Columbia's 28th space flight and the shuttle was said to be good for 100 flights.

Kalpana, you are not lost.

A feedlot-raised cow requires grain, hay and water, and complex cleaning of the environment to remove waste products. This puts a strain on already limited Western water rights and availability, as well as contributing to water contamination and acid rain. Overgrazing by livestock causes soil compaction and erosion, leading to a loss in water storage capacity.

Kalpana always believed in the power of women. She believed that mothers, even those living in a traditional society, can make things easier for their daughters by not pressing them to conform to society's norms. Says Chawla: "I think I wouldn't even call my mom conservative, though she is from a conservative family, and I think everyone thinks of her that way. But as far back as I can remember, she's always said that you really must do what pleases you."

Kalpana continued her association with her school in Karnal. On her first space flight in 1997, she asked the school to send a T-shirt to carry with her as a souvenir.

In 1998 the International Space School Foundation at NASA asked Kalpana to suggest some Indian students for would tell his other students, all males, "She's here a Kalpana continued her association with her school in because this is what she wants to do."

Kalpana was so particular about personal hygiene, that she would hand wash her own clothes in the hostel bathroom, not on the floor but using the walls as the floor was too unclean. She would not eat in the hostel canteen but cook her own food in the tiny little cubicle that she had in the hostel even though it meant using her precious time out of studies for buying veggies and cooking. Her friends and acquaintances from those days in Chandigarh recall Kalpana biking towards the hostel with veggies from a vendor on her bicycle- unmindful of what her peers might think of this.

times from one hostel to another where she could find a place for a few weeks. While simultaneously following her other hobbies like biking, learning karate, extensive reading, nature walks, flower arrangements, writing for the college magazine, participating in college debates, stamp collection, stone collection etc, she let her academic performance argue her case to one and all.

She did not let my refusal to sign as guardian authorizing her to learn flying when she was still in India, stop her from secretly harboring the desire and started learning flying planes as soon as she could when she reached the United States.

Along with her academic pursuit of her Masters and Doctorate, she was also learning flying various kinds of small planes. At only five-feet three inches tall, my daughter had the challenge of her feet reaching the pedals of the plane while keeping good visual of the runway. As a result, extra cushions were a permanent feature in her car.

She paid for her flying lessons out of the scholarship money that she got for her Masters at Arlington university, Texas and later for her Doctorate at Colarado University at Boulder. She eventually became a certified flying instructor. As she said, this way you could afford to fly different kinds of small planes into different kinds of small airports all over US, while teaching flying.

My daughter Kalpana l ived an absolutely simple life-style with no frills whatsoever despite various kinds of peer pressure, expectations of her


family from India and her friends and colleagues in Tagore school, P.E.C and the administatration of US.

IMPORTANT

QUOTESBY KALPANA CHAWLA

“Do something because you really want to do it. If you're doing it just for the goal and don't enjoy the path, then I think you're cheating yourself.”

“It was starting to get dim outside, so you got to see your own reflection. And there is the Earth and you can still see the Earth's surface and the dark sky overhead. And I could then see my reflection in the window and in the retina of my eye the whole earth and the sky could be seen reflected. So I called all the crew members one by one and they saw it, and they said, "Oh, wow."

“I never thought while pursuing my studies or doing anything else about being a woman, I am a person from a small city, or a different country. I pretty much had my dreams, like anybody else and I followed them. People around me fortunately always encouraged and said "if that's what you want to do, carry on".”

“Just looking at Earth, looking at the stars during the night part of Earth; just looking at our planet roll by and the speed at which it goes by and the awe that it inspires; just so many such good thoughts come to your mind when you see all that... Doing it again is like living a dream a good dream once again.”

“When you look at the stars and the galaxy, you feel that you are not just from any particular piece of land, but from the solar system.”
