Indian-American Sunita Williams, a record-setting astronaut who lived and worked aboard the International Space Station for six months in 2006, today took off on her second space mission in a Russian spacecraft from Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
46-year-old Williams along with two flight engineers — Japan’s Akihiko Hoshide and Yury Malenchenko of Russia — departed on a two-day voyage to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft at around O8:10 IST, Russian news agency Ria Novosti reported.
