Sunita Williams voted for the US presidential election
Sunita Williams :- Voting has started for the US presidential election. Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are in the election arena and the whole world is paying attention to this election. Sunita Williams and other NASA astronauts have cast their vote from the International Space Station. Astronauts have not only voted but also appealed to the citizens to vote in maximum numbers.
There are currently four NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station, including Sunita Williams. All of them are stuck in the space station due to a technical failure in the spacecraft. Sunita Williams exercised her right to vote for the US presidential election. This time she said that voting from space is a very different experience for me. Voting is the duty of every citizen. Sunita Williams has been stuck inside the space station since June 5 due to a technical malfunction in the spacecraft.
How's the reaction to voting from space?
NASA has facilitated the Space Communications and Navigation Program for astronauts living on the space station to participate in elections. Under this, when an astronaut goes on a mission, he has to register in advance to vote. For this, an astronaut must fill out a federal postcard application. Sunita Williams had no idea that she would be in space until the election, so she did not fill out the application. However, they have been given a chance.
First of all, is it possible to contact the astronauts on the mission in time? It is tested by NASA. For that first the trial ballot is sent, after the trial voting is successful the actual ballot is sent to the space. After the ballot paper reaches the astronauts, they vote and their encrypted version is uploaded to the computer system there. It then reaches NASA's ground terminals, after which the ballot paper reaches the respective polling station.
