 New Delhi: Indian-origin astronaut Sunita Williams has been stuck in space for several months. Butch Wilmore is also stuck with her. Now NASA has given the reason for the delay in their return. One reason for the delay in the return of both is also related to a former astronaut of Indian origin. 

What is the connection with Kalpana Chawla?

Actually, in 2003, Indian-origin astronaut Kalpana Chawla was a victim of an accident while returning to Earth from space. As soon as the space shuttle bringing Kalpana back started coming down to Earth, it turned into a ball of fire. There were six more astronauts aboard this space shuttle.
