This triggered widespread discussions about her health status.
Responding to reports suggesting a decline in Sunita Williams’ health, NASA issued a statement. NASA clarified that Sunita Williams, along with all astronauts aboard the ISS, is in good health.
The space agency explained that astronauts undergo regular medical check-ups, monitored closely by flight surgeons.
