The next year India became the first Asian nation to reach the Mars orbit and the first in the world to do so in its first attempt.This historic mission, among isro’s other great successes, was spearheaded by the most talented, dedicated and tireless group of women scientists that the world has ever seen. Nandini Harijans and Ritu karidhal calculated the spacecraft trajectory to Mars, besidesoverseeing the mission operations; moumita Dutta and Minal Sampat designed the complex scientific instruments involved in the mission; while numerous other ‘wonder women’ have been instrumental in isro’s other path-breaking work.Isro’s magnificent women and their flying machines narrates the inspiring stories of these extraordinary women: how they overcame the naysayers and gender barriers in a field dominated by men to achieve the impossible. As India reaches for the moon with chandrayaan-2, women are once again in the front seat, with Ritu karidhal as mission director. For women in science, The sky is not the limit.  aWomen from Mars945331  aMOM Operations945332  aReaching for the Moon945333  aVAID (Minnie)945334  2ddccBK  c223490d223490  00102ddc40708PHYaALbALd2022-06-24eBiblios Book Point, Surathkal, Mangalore-575014g239.00l0o629.109 VAIIp075916r2022-06-27 00:00:00v299.00w2022-06-27yBK
