MARS ORBITER MISSION
India’s first interplanetary mission and the first time that any country successfully reached Martian orbit on the first try. India made history again this past week when, on Aug. 21, 2019, ISRO’s Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft snapped its first picture of the moon.
“Mission Mangal” was released in India on Aug. 15, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Indian Space Research Organization.
The very proud moment to be an INDIAN ,mainly proud to know that the women played key role in this mission. The struggles they faced, the achievement they did and the way they made India proud it’s speechless.
Ritu Karidhal, an aerospace engineer and senior scientist at ISRO who served as the deputy operations director for MOM, has worked at the space agency for over 20 years. Karidhal went on to become the mission director of ISRO’s Chandrayaan-2 mission.
Nandini Harinath, a rocket scientist at ISRO, has worked on 14 missions over a span of 20 years at the agency. Harinath took an early interest in science after being exposed to “Star Trek” as a child.
Anuradha T.K., the senior-most woman in an officer position at ISRO, is a scientist who specializes in sending communications satellites to space. She has worked at the agency for almost 40 years, and is considered by many at ISRO to be a role model as a successful woman in science
Moumita Dutta, another critical member of the MOM team, is a physicist who works at the Space Applications Centre (SAC) at ISRO. Dutta worked as project manager for the Methane Sensor for Mars (MSM) and developed, optimized and calibrated an optical system for the satellite.
Mangalyaan is an ambitious mission opening up new opportunities to explore the red planet. It has proved India’s ability to achieve success in interplanetary missions with efficiency.
The technological prowess shown by the scientists at ISRO is nothing less than a miracle. They proved everyone wrong and did the unthinkable. They have paved the way for the future generations to follow.
