Yes, Kalpana Chawla is deceased. She tragically lost her life on February 1, 2003, when the Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated upon re-entry into Earth's atmosphere during STS-107 mission. Chawla was the first woman of Indian origin in space and made significant contributions to aerospace engineering and space exploration. Her legacy continues to inspire many in the fields of science and engineering.
