NASA astronaut Sunita Williams set several records, as she returned from nine -month -long space, which stopped in space for the longest spacewalk and the second longest cumulative period for NASA’s astronaut. However, space exploration did not dream as a child.
Although he had a qualification for science since childhood, Williams dreamed of being a veterinarian. His mind changed after visiting his brother Jai at the US Navy Academy. At that time, Tom Cruise-Starr Top Gun was an anger. On receiving an opportunity, she joined the Navy Aviation Training Command, but did not find a combat aircraft to fly.
Instead, Williams joined the US Navy in 1989 as a Navy Eviator, serving a helicopter Combat Support Squadron 8 in Norfolk, Virginia. He deployed foreign deployment in the Mediterranean, Red Sea and Persian Gulf in support of desert shield and operation. He played an important role in the transport of soldiers and humanitarian aid, depicting leadership skills and ability to perform in extreme conditions.
Williams joined NASA as an astronaut in 1998 and rode in space shuttle discovery to join the International Space Station (ISS) campaign on his first mission in 2006 and joined the Orbit 15 and 15 for the 195-day tenure. In 2007, she became the first person to run a marathon in space to complete the Boston Marathon on a treadmill at the space station in 4 hours and 24 minutes.
Her second mission was in 2012 when she flew to ISS for a four -month stay, at this time the second woman who led the ISS became at any time. During this time, he oversee the operation of the station, completed a triathlon in the orbit, and captured a reputed image that appeared to “touch” the sun during a spacewalk.
Williams’s latest mission was with Buch Wilmor, which lasted for 286 days in June last year. Although it was to last for more than a week, it was extended as a Boeing Starlineer that is motivated to bring them back to Earth, which returns to home empty home. During this migration, Crew -9 researched more than 900 hours, saw ISS repairs and eight space vehicles coming and going from the orbital lab.
During this mission, Williams made history by setting a record of most of the time spent by a woman in spacewalking. She holds a record of 62 hours and nine minutes of additional intelligent activity, which crosses the 60-hour and 21-minute record of former astronaut Paigi Whitson.
