Abstract
The area of outer space research witnessed several astronauts including several women in them. But their contribution to the field of space research is in immense dark though their roles are primarily recognised in the social, cultural, religious, political and economic spheres. One may post a question to the entire world what is the role of women as a folk[1] in the field of space research and whether they can contribute to the same level what they have done in the above said social, economic, cultural, political and religious spheres. The first step is to bring awareness about space research amongst the women folk but there has been various women astronauts who have made their respective contributions to the science of space research by their well defined contributions.
