The Space India recently conducted a talk session with Captain Sunita Williams, US Astronaut of Indian origin, at the India Islamic Cultural Centre, New Delhi.
Chairman and managing director, Space Sachin Bahmba hosted the chat session titled Captain Sunita Williams, In Conversation with Sachin Bahmba.
Williams inaugurated the Kalpana Chawla Space Settlement Competition at the programme which will give school and college students a unique opportunity to design space colonies.
Sharing her experiences, she said: “The commercial crew programme is the next big thing in space and encouraging private companies to explore space. I wanted to create awareness for healthy lifestyle and hence ran the triathlon while at International Space Station (ISS). Do not get bogged down by the notion of limits there are not any.”
Williams discussed her journey before she became an astronaut and her walks beyond this planet, which enabled students and guests to get a better understanding of the life of an astronaut.
The chat session was well attended by students, the education fraternity, industry experts and the media and was graced by CB Devgun, president, Space Foundation; Shalini Bahmba, head of Education, Space; Pankaj Bahmba, director, Space Group of Companies with eminent industry experts.
