INDIAN FLAG UNFURLS IN SPACE.

On Independence Day  for the first time, in 65 years on 15th August 2012. India should be a proud nation , because the Indian Tricolour was unfurled in space.


The honour to do this historical moment was done by none other than our Indian-American astronaut Sunita Williams. Sunita has her roots in India, which she has not forgotten. Her father is from Gujarat, who has thought her the traditions of our country.  

She is orbiting the earth 16 times a day at a speed of 7.71 km per second .
In one minute she covers 7.71 x 60 seconds equal to 462.60 kms.
In one hour she covers 462.60 x 60 minutes equal to 27756 kms.
And in 24 hours she covers 27756 x 24 equal to 666144 kms awesome .

Displaying the Indian flag at the International Space Station she praised the achievement of Mahatma Gandhi .Wishing India on the Independence Day she said " India itself is a very colourful country and  I am proud to be a part of the celebrations ''
