For the whole team, how different will this chandrayaan 3 be?
Actually, when we went ahead with the chandrayaan 2 also, people had confidence that it will be going without any problem because space scientists always go ahead with the mission after ensuring that whatever problem is encountered will be corrected and with that confidence only we go through. In chandrayaan 2 also we went through like that.
But the space system is hard always in the first mission, we always learn something that wouldn’t have come out on the ground, it will happen only in the flight. That’s what we used to call unknown unknowns. So this type of thing comes in the first mission. So for us, unfortunately, it ended up with a mission failure, but we have learnt a lot of things.
We have full confidence that this time it will be successful because we know that all the issues that we faced are corrected and also additional margins have been increased.
How easy or difficult was it to motivate the team? We saw the prime minister being present when the mission failed, you got emotional, and after that, you got back to work. What were the challenges according to you? The main challenge was analysing the data, going through the data and finding out the exact cause, that’s a real challenge.
