A colleague in India sent me a second book that has just been published there about Kalpana Chawla. It is: Kalpana Chawla: India's first Woman Astronaut by Dilip M Salwi, Rupa + Co, New Delhi, India, 2004. It's more lavish than the Penguin book that was already released in India - lots of color photos.
It does seem to be available online, at a couple of places like this.
Rakesh Sharma, India's first spacefarer, helped with the book release, and this page contains some nice words he said about Chawla on the book's unveiling. The author has also stated in interviews that he plans to write a followup book about her too. |

I wonder if anyone has asked or interviewed the Indian PS candidates, one of which was scheduled to fly on the shuttle in 1986? |

I have some pretty extensive letters from a couple of them telling me about their experiences. | |
