PIO Shawna Pandya could be third Indian woman in space

A general physician and a surgical trainee, Shawna Pandya is one of two candidates shortlisted for the Citizen Science Astronaut program and may fly to space along with eight other astronauts in space missions slated to take flight by 2018.

Born in Alberta, Canada, Shawna has roots in Mumbai and is a powerhouse of many talents. Speaking to DC, she shares about her fascination for space when she was only 10 years old, the show Astronauts - Toughest Job In The Universe on Sony BBC Earth, and about her upcoming projects that might end up taking her to space.

Note

Kalpana Chawla and Sunita Williams were the two PIO's in Space
