Indian American Astronaut Sunita Williams  is back to International Space Station with  other  astronauts Russian Yury Malenchenko and Japan’s Akihito Hoshide in Soyuz TMA-05M spacecraft. She took off from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at the exact scheduled time of 8.40 AM local time (0240 GMT).
They will dock to the Rassvet module Tuesday at 12:52 a.m. to join Commander Gennady Padalka and Flight Engineers Joe Acaba and Sergei Revin at the space station.
She is on a 4-month trip to the ISS where she will serve as commander  during expedtion 33, she is set to relief Commander Gennady Padalka from duty.
Daughter of an Indian American father from Gujarat and a Slovenian mother, Williams and her colleagues will be aboard the station during an exceptionally busy period that includes two spacewalks, the arrival of Japanese, US commercial and Russian resupply vehicles, and an increasingly faster pace of scientific research, the US space agency said.
Williams is the second woman of Indian heritage to have been selected by NASA for a space mission after Kalpana Chawla and the second astronaut of Slovenian heritage after Ronald M. Sega.
She holds three records for female space travellers: longest spaceflight (195 days), number of spacewalks (four), and total time spent on spacewalks (29 hours and 17 minutes) during her first space journey in 2006.
A 1987 graduate of the US Naval Academy, Williams served in various roles as a Navy officer before being selected as an astronaut candidate by NASA in 1998. She received a master’s degree from the Florida Institute of Technology in 1995.
