An Indian American Woman in Space: Kalpana Chawla Summary In Hindi

कल्पना चावला का जन्म हरियाणा के करनाल नगर में हुआ था पर बाद में वह एक अमरिकी फ्लाइट इंस्ट्रक्टर जीन-पियर हैरीसन से शादी करके अमरीकी नागरिक बन गयी थी। इसलिए उन्हें भारतीय अमरीकन कहते हैं। करनाल टैगोर स्कूल से उसने स्नातक की डिग्री ली। उसके बाद वह एक इंजीनियरिंग कॉलेज में पढ़ने लगी। फिर वह स्नातकोत्तर डिग्री के लिए अमरीका गई। उस डिग्री को प्राप्त करने के बाद उसने अंतरिक्ष इंजीनियरिंग में डॉक्टर की उपाधि प्राप्त की।

वायुयान-चालक की योग्यता प्राप्त करने के बाद, उसने नासा में अंतरिक्ष-यान के प्रोग्राम के लिए आवेदन भेजा। चालक के रूप में सफल होकर उसे यह विचार आया कि वह ऐस्ट्रोनाट बन सकती थी। पहले उसे अनुसंधान-वैज्ञानिक के रूप में रखा गया। 1994 में नासा ने उसका चुनाव अंतरिक्ष यात्री की ट्रेनिंग के लिए किया। इस प्रकार वह प्रथम भारतीय-अमरीकी नारी अंतरिक्ष यात्री बन गयी।

चावला की प्रथम अंतरिक्ष यात्रा 15 दिन 16 घंटे और 34 मिनट की थी। उस अंतरिक्षयान के जत्थे में एक जापानी और एक यूक्रेनियन अंतरिक्ष यात्री भी थे। लगभग 56 मिलियन डालर के खर्च पर उन लोगों ने अंतरिक्ष में विभिन्न प्रयोग किए।

जब कोलंबिया के नष्ट होने की खबर आयी, तब लोगों को विश्वास नहीं हुआ और उन्हें बड़ा मानसिक आघात लगा। परंतु यह स्पष्ट हो गया कि कल्पना चावला मर चुकी थी। उस यान के अन्य यात्री भी मारे गये थे।

एक पत्रकार ने लिखा कि कल्पना चावला एक नायिका थी। उसके अनुसार अंतरिक्ष यात्री बड़ा योग्य व्यक्ति होता है। उसे जीव विज्ञान से लेकर अंतरिक्ष-भौतिकी और अंतरिक्ष भौतिकी से लेकर अंतरिक्ष यांत्रिकी तक सब कुछ जानना होता है। अंतरिक्ष यात्री का ज्ञान विश्वकोषीय होता है।

कल्पना चावला ने कहा था कि स्वप्न को वास्तविकता बनाया जा सकता है। इसके लिए व्यक्ति में साहस होना चाहिए और उसके लिए प्रयत्न करना चाहिए।
