First Pak astronaut Namira Saleem’s Galactic space mission training starts

First Pakistani astronaut Namira Saleem’s training for the Galactic 04 Space Mission has been started on Wednesday, reported 24News HD TV Channel.
According to the channel report, Namira Saleem is the first woman from Pakistan who has already hoisted Pakistan's flag at the North Pole on 21 April 2007 and at the South Pole on 10 January 2008.

In a statement on Wednesday, Namira Saleem said, "Today we learnt about fitting our spacesuits and parachutes to perfection. We also trained about the functionality of our custom-made seats in the spaceship and how to fasten and unfasten our seat belts so we leave our seats in zero gravity well-oriented and take the necessary steps to maximize our experience in space. We also learned to make gentle movements not to bump into windows or fellow astronauts and how to naturally drift when floating in zero gravity."

She further stated that tomorrow she has a more exciting Day 2 of training, full of surprises, details of which she will share with people.
