SHANMUGA SUBRAMANIAN

Dec. 17, 2019

Earlier this month, a 33-year-old techie from Chennai, Shanmuga Subramanian, achieved a rare feat by finding the debris of Indian Space Research Organisation’s Vikram Lander, which was dispatched in Chandrayaan-2.

About:

  • NASA, along with announcing the discovery of the debris, gave credit to Shanmuga Subramanian that his discovery had helped its Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera team locate the site of the primary impact, as well as other debris around the impact location.

  • How he found? Having some idea about the location of the landing, he took a closer look at the particular area in the images with the help of Nasa’s telemetry data. He searched the images for almost 7 to 8 hours daily for around four days.
