'A major part of the team behind India's ambitious moon mission is Ritu Karidhal Srivastava, known as the 'Rocket Woman of India'. Dr Karidhal is a senior scientist at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), the Mission Director of Chandrayaan-2 and the Deputy Operations Director of Mangalyaan, India's Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM).'

Congratulations to her and the whole team for a safe landing.

Absolutely fantastic work. Isn't it amazing that with many historical space events there are women as driving intellectual forces behind them? It just goes to show somebody's sex doesn't dictate what their brains can achieve

That’s a great story, thanks for posting Arabella.

More on the team behind Chandrayaan-2, which is 20-30% women.
