ISRO Moon Mission: Chandrayaan 3 is on the Moon. Get here the details of the people behind the Chandrayaan-3 mission, their achievements, and academic backgrounds. Know who is the ‘Rocket Woman of India.’
ISRO Scientists: After Chandrayaan-2, Chandrayaan-3 is the next mission of ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation). This moon mission aims for safe landing on the moon and exploring its surface. A rocket called LVM3 from SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota, launched the lander and rover into space.
The 2019 launch of Chandrayaan-2 included an orbiter, a lander, and the Pragyan rover. Unfortunately, a software error caused the plane to lose all communications minutes before it was scheduled to land; as a result, it deviated off course and crashed. The orbiter is still operational and gives the organisation useful data, so it wasn’t a total disaster. Before Chandrayaan-2, Chandrayaan-1 was launched in 2008. It was India’s first lunar mission.
Today Chandrayaan-3 lander landed on moon at around 6:04 PM. The whole nation prayed for a safe landing. The efforts that our ISRO scientists are putting into achieving this aim will soon show the colours. The whole team of Chandrayaan-3 has put a lot of hopes and dreams into this mission.
Now let us talk about the scientist behind the Chandrayaan 3 mission. These are the main forces that are making India proud with such extraordinary achievements. A whole team of experts is working on this mission under the leadership of the below-mentioned personalities. Let us have a look at their educational background and achievements.
