Question No. 2 (Flow Chart)
Read the following passage and make a flow chart mentioning Tereshkova’s activities in the space. (No. 1 has been done for you.)
Although Tereshkova experienced nausea and physical discomfort for much of the flight, she orbited the earth 48 times and spent almost three days in space. With a single flight, she logged more flight time than the combined times of all American astronauts who had flown before that date. Tereshkova also maintained a flight log and took photographs of the horizon, which were later used to identify aerosol layers within the atmosphere.

After a 16 day scientific mission in space, on 1 February 2003, Columbia disintegrated over Texas during its
re-entry into the Earths atmosphere. All the crew in Columbia including Chawla died only 16 minutes prior to their scheduled landing. Investigation shows that this fatal accident happened due to a damage in one of Columbias wings caused by a piece of insulating foam from the external fuel tank peeling off during the launch. During the intense heat of re-entry, hot gases penetrated the interior of the wing, destroying the support structure and causing the rest of the shuttle to break down.
Ans: The passage is about Kanpana Chawlas mission in the space and its tragic ending. She started her mission with six other space crew on the ill-fated space shuttle Columbia. They completed experiments about 80 times before their launching. However, their fate did not favor them even after such cautious preparations. Columbia disintegrated over Texas during its re-entry into the Earths atmosphere only 16 minutes prior to their scheduled landing due to the intense heat of the atmosphere.
