ISRO will never forget these astronauts

ROCKNEX NEWS

Ten years ago on February 01, 2003 the Space Shuttle Columbia tore apart upon reentry 16 minutes before it was to land.

Among the seven astronauts on board was mission specialist Dr. Kalpana Chawla, who in 1988 began to work at the Ames Research Center before being selected as an astronaut candidate by NASA in December 1994.

ISRO will never forget these astronauts nor all those who have lost their lives carrying out missions of exploration.
