In Chandrayaan3, over 100 women played a crucial part in all stages of the mission, including coming up with ideas, designing, making it a reality, testing, and making it happen.
Leading the charge were several brilliant women scientists who have made significant contributions to India’s space program. Vanitha Muthayya and Ritu Karidhal, who led Chandrayaan-2, etched their names in history as the first women to spearhead a space mission in India. Muthayya, the project director, and Karidhal, the mission director, played pivotal roles in Chandrayaan-2’s endeavors.
