There is a girl in the sky, who sees the sun rising 16 times a day!

How many times have you seen the sun coming out in your life? One, two or maybe dozens of times. But there is a girl who lives in the sky and sees the sun rising and sinking 16 times a day. This is not a fairy tale, but a truth.

We are talking about NASA's female astronaut Christina Koch , who has been in space for the last 325 days. From where she sees many beautiful views of dawn on earth. However, apart from this, there are many more important things happening there ... So  let's know about Christina's space journey

Why Christina?

The US space agency NASA sent Christina to the International Space Station on 14 March 2019 and they have been there ever since. During this time, Christina has set many records. The first thing is that she became the first female astronaut to spend the most days in space. Christina will be staying there until February.

By the way, you may think that maybe this is their punishment, only then they are away from the world but this is not so. Christina has been one of NASA's most capable astronauts. Christina of 40 was selected to NASA in 2013. He completed his training to become an astronaut in 2015. By the way, Christina, born in Michigan, USA, has done post graduation in Electrical Engineering from North Carolina State University. The special thing is that she belongs to a very ordinary family. 

Christina was chosen for this special mission for two reasons. First space science instrument development and second remote scientific field engineering. Only those who can repair the battery of the International Space Station. By the way, she has done this work before. It is obvious that no astronauts stand ahead of them, so NASA chose Christina.

Sunrise watches throughout the day

The most beautiful thing about Christina's campaign is that she sees the sun dawn on the earth about 16 times a day. Actually, something like this happens that while moving the space station, another part of the Earth comes out. This speed is set in such a way that every 90 minutes from the space station, sunrise is seen in some part of the earth. In this context, Christina watches the sunrise 16 times every day. And they have seen the sunrise 5024 times in 314 days. 

Something similar happens on the sunrise. Christina has sent pictures of these two eyes on the earth several times. Christina has made many records while living here. So far, Scott Kelly of America spent the most in 340 days. He did this feat in 2015-16. 

However, after spending 328 days ,  Christina will become the first female astronaut to be in space for the most days. American female astronaut Peggy Winston has spent 665 days in space before Christina. 

However, she has spent this time through five different flights and the special thing is that Christina considers Peggy as her role model. Christina is not only fond of traveling in the sky but is also fond of doing yoga on earth.

Apart from this he enjoys surfing, paddling, rock climbing, running, social service, photography and walking. She told in an interview that she watches TV after working in the space station. She does photography of space and earth in free time or likes to talk with her team.

Making records on record

Christina has also done a space walk to improve SpaceStation equipment. Along with him, team member Jessica Mir has also walked in space. This is the first time that only a team of women astronauts has walked outside the International Space Center (ISS). 

Both were to replace the defective power controller 'battery charge-discharge unit' of the ISS during this campaign. This unit was bad since 11 October 2019, but it did not affect the ongoing research in the station or the safety of the astronauts there. After this, on October 18, 2019, both of them came out of the ISS at 5 pm Indian time to change the unit.

By the way, let us tell you that so far there have been a total of 221 spacewalks for repairing the ISS and the equipment installed in it. In 2019, for the same reason, astronauts strolled outside the station. Many women along with male astronauts had participated in these missions earlier. According to NASA, so far 15 women have joined 42 spacewalks with men .

By the way, NASA is going a step ahead and is preparing to send women to the moon by 2024. This decision is really worth it. But the most important of these is that Christina is still keeping an eye on the entire Earth from space.

By the way, she can return to Earth in the first week of February. Hopefully after this, he will be welcomed like an angel on earth.
