Get ready to be amazed by Sunita Williams' third space mission and her unique traditions in space travel!

Indian-origin astronaut Sunita Williams is gearing up for an extraordinary journey into space for the third time. Set to pilot the Starliner spacecraft of Boeing, Williams is not only making history but also carrying on her unique space rituals. From naming her spacecraft 'Calypso' and having Lord Ganesh as her 'good luck charm' to carrying the Bhagavad Gita on her previous missions, Williams brings a touch of her Indian heritage to space travel.

With the Crew Dragon and Starliner spacecraft as backups for each other, Williams will have the option to keep flying even in case of technical issues. This mission marks a significant milestone as Williams teams up with fellow astronaut Barry “Butch” Wilmore for the Crewed Flight Test mission to the International Space Station (ISS), showcasing the Starliner spacecraft's capabilities.

Ahead of her launch, Williams expressed a mix of nervousness and excitement, ready to embark on a new spacecraft adventure. Known for her remarkable resilience and skills, Williams is set to once again demonstrate her expertise in space exploration.

In a fascinating twist, Sunita Williams also made headlines for completing a triathlon in space on one of her previous missions, highlighting her dedication to pushing boundaries and achieving feats beyond Earth's limits. As she prepares for her upcoming mission, the world eagerly anticipates the success of this historic space flight.
