Flag

The Kalpana Chawla ISU Scholarship Fund website banner shows the 2-sides of a special flag to be flown board Space Shuttle Discovery's final flight STS-133 by NASA Astronaut Nicole Stott. 

The design highlights various attributes of Dr. Chawla's life:
  • The Pushpak aircraft that inspired her love of flight
  • Her relentless pursuit for knowledge exhibited by a tree from which sprouts her shared nationality
  • Her name written in Sanskrit, a root language of her culture
  • And the crew insignia of her last and ill-fated STS-107 mission
