Purpose of soft landing on the surface of the Moon
S. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), headed by Somnath, aims to join the elite list of countries that have mastered the ‘soft landing’ on the lunar surface. The ‘Chandra mission’ to be launched on Friday is a follow-up mission to ‘Chandrayaan-2’ of the year 2019. In this third lunar mission of India also, the aim of the space scientists is to make a ‘soft landing’ of the lander on the surface of the moon.
Veeramuthuvel got a big responsibility
Veeramuthuvel (46) is currently the Project Director of the Chandrayaan-3 mission led by Somnath. Hailing from a Paridat family in Villupuram district of Tamil Nadu, Veeramuthuvel is an alumnus of the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology (Madras) and holds a Ph.D. As the project director of the lunar mission, Veeramuthuvel has replaced Vanitha, who succeeded the then ISRO chief K.K. She was the project director of the Chandrayaan-2 mission led by Sivan.
The first Chandrayaan mission also has a connection with Tamil Nadu.
Vanitha was the first woman to hold this position in the history of ISRO. Mayilsamy Annadurai was given the title of ‘Moon Man of India’ after leading the first Chandrayaan mission. He also belonged to Tamil Nadu. Interesting fact is that former President late Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, who headed India’s rocket program, was also from Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu. That is why India’s Mission Moon has a unique relationship with Tamil Nadu.
