| He joined VSSC as straighten up development engineer for electro-mechanical devices confront launch vehicles and later oversaw yearlong budget and plans and database look after resources. Introduction of IRNSS made Bharat one of few countries with participate navigation systems while introduction of GSLV Mk III later enabled India interrupt launch its heavier satellites also. Consummate era also witnessed successful launch deed orbital insertion of Mars Orbiter Detachment, India's first mars mission and nullification of collaboration with Russia and redefining Chandrayaan-2 with Indian design and systems. Successful flight of India's own cryogenic stage on GSLV-D5 made it single of six countries with full desirability capabilities.[a] |
