With a landing area 40x larger than #Chandrayaan2 , more fuel, plenty of backup systems, invaluable data from past mission, ~2x resilience to impact, 4 years of meticulous refinement and rigorous six-sigma testing- we’re on the cusp of a historic landing of #Chandrayaan3 tomorrow.

From a government accountant to a Nobel laureate, Sir CV Raman’s journey was extraordinary. He chose his Indian turban over a hat, signifying his roots. Not only a physicist, but he was also an acoustics pioneer, unlocking the mysteries behind Indian drum sounds. We proudly

The Raman-II engine, born from precision 3D printing, powers our Vikram-I's Orbit Adjustment Module (OAM), delivering satellites to their orbits. Named in honour of Indian Nobel Laureate Sir #CVRaman , it's innovation steeped in reverence and inspiration!

GSLV moved to the launch pad. Among ISRO launches, the tension in the air is highest for a GSLV launch. Fond memories being in Sriharikota for GSLV-D5 campaign ~10yrs ago. Wishing GSLV-F12/NVS-01 smooth operations at the launch pad and good luck for the launch on Monday 🚀

Was glad to receive some really honest calls in last 2 weeks from industry, media and general public, who said they never thought a private rocket launch to space would be possible in India and #Prarambh mission completely changed their perception on what’s possible🚀

💔 Personally couldn’t bear #Starship blowing up in between what seemed like a great flight. However, this very electrifying moment at lift-off is unforgettable and surely historic. Wishing @SpaceX the very best for the next launch.
