"ISRO is truly nationalist" –Gita Aravamudan in Spotlight with Sandhya | Episode 69
Indians are over the moon with the success of its lunar exploration mission Chandrayaan-3 in August 2023. The joy and pride are greater as ISRO sprang up unfazed from the failure of the previous mission. The first country to land a craft on the moon’s South Pole and doing it at a fraction of the cost that advanced countries would have spent is just one of many in a string of steady successes notched up by the Indian Space Research Organisation. Gita Aravamudan, journalist and co-author of a book on ISRO talks about India’s spectacular journey to outer space and the building of this unique organisation.“ISRO is a truly nationalist organisation. The people who work here wanted to work in India and not work abroad”, she says.#isro #chandrayaan-3 #indianmoonmission #space #nasa #sarabhai #kalam #danaravamudan #gitaaravamudan #spotlightwithsandhya#sandhyamendoncaEdited by Capital StudioTo be featured on this show write to us at mail@raintreemedia.com or https://www.facebook.com/raintreemedia or https://www.instagram.com/raintreemedia/You can watch this podcast as a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUusJ0LtVOM
