Chandrayaan-3 will be game changer, says former Isro scientist Nambi Narayanan

Former Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) scientist Nambi Narayanan.

Who played an instrumental part in space sector innovation, said the Chandrayaan-3 mission is going to be a “game changer” for India.

Chandrayaan-3 is India’s attempt to soft-land on the Moon, four years after it lost Chandrayaan-2 in the process. Isro will launch the Chandrayaan-3 mission from the spaceport at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota today.

”Chandrayaan-3 will definitely be a game changer for India and I hope it will be successful. India will become an inspiration to the entire world. Let’s wait for the launch and pray for the best,” Nambi Narayanan told news agency ANI.

The former Isro scientist said from the failure of Chandrayaan-2, lessons were learnt. He said the soft landing did not happen last time because of software and some mechanical issues and both have been resolved.

“I’m happy to note that the entire country is now anxiously waiting for this launch. That is something interesting,” Nambi Narayanan, who played a key part in developing the Vikas Engine, a mainstay of all Indian rockets, told ANI.
