In a proud moment for Assam, scientist Chayan Dutta who hails from the state, will oversee the launch control operations of the Chandrayaan-3 mission.
An alumnus of the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Tezpur University, Chayan Dutta is working as a Scientist/Engineer-G at the UR Rao Satellite Centre, Department of Space.
He is also heading the “On Board Command Telemetry, Data Handling, and Storage System, Lander, Chandrayan-3” as Deputy Project Director.
The Command and Data Handling subsystem is essentially the ‘brains’ of the orbiter and controls all spacecraft functions.
Chandrayaan-3, India’s third lunar mission carried out by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), is all set for launch on Friday at 2.35 pm from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.
Chandrayaan-3 is equipped with extra fuel, several safety precautions, and a larger landing location.
According to ISRO, the second attempt will use a “failure-based design” to guarantee that the rover will land on the moon even if something goes wrong.
A successful soft landing will make India the fourth country, after the United States, Russia, and China, to achieve the feat.
