The crew of the discovery mission includes Sweden's first astronaut Christer Fuglesang, pilot William Oefelein, flight engineer Robert Curbeam, and mission specialists Nicholas Patrick and Joan Higginbotham including Sunita Williams.
One of the main mission of the astronauts are thst the astronauts will also move an older set of solar arrays out of the way of the new arrays, which will turn on their axis like a paddlewheel as the station follows its orbital path.
Here Sunita's job will include a complex set of tasks carried out over three spacewalks, including adding a small structural truss to the orbiting laboratory and reconfiguring the station's electrical system to begin drawing power from solar panels added on the last mission.
Half Indian half American, commander Sunita Williams is a graduate of the US Naval Academy. She is one of only six women NASA has put in space since 1965. Her father is an Indian-born doctor and her mother a homemaker of Yugoslav descent.
