Nitish Shrimal, a Space Engineer at ISRO, is an inspirational figure who overcame all the hurdles life threw at him.

ISRO is relentlessly working towards restoring a link with Chandrayaan 2’s lander Vikram. However, ISRO scientists believe that that the longer it takes, the lesser the probability to establish link.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has located the exact location of the Vikram lander using Optical High Resolution Camera (OHRC). The organisation is trying to establish contact with the lander.

Prominent actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Kamal Hassan offered words of encouragement to ISRO scientists and hailed them for the moon mission - Chandrayaan-2

Minutes after the successful launch of GSLV- MkIII-M1 in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh on Monday (July 22), several politicians praised ISRO. The mission's success brought in massive relief for ISRO scientists after the July 15 launch was called off following a technical glitch in the rocket.

Former ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan praised Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan for taking the stand that the case filed against him was a fake one.
