520			_aIn late 2013, The Indian space research organisation (ISRO) launched mangalyaan—india’s first inter-planetary mission—after just eighteen months, at a fraction of the cost of similar missions by foreign space agencies. The next year India became the first Asian nation to reach the Mars orbit and the first in the world to do so in its first attempt.This historic mission, among isro’s other great successes, was spearheaded by the most talented, dedicated and tireless group of women scientists that the world has ever seen. Nandini Harijans and Ritu karidhal calculated the spacecraft trajectory to Mars, besidesoverseeing the mission operations; moumita Dutta and Minal Sampat designed the complex scientific instruments involved in the mission; while numerous other ‘wonder women’ have been instrumental in isro’s other path-breaking work.Isro’s magnificent women and their flying machines narrates the inspiring stories of these extraordinary women: how they overcame the naysayers and gender barriers in a field dominated by men to achieve the impossible. As India reaches for the moon with chandrayaan-2, women are once again in the front seat, with Ritu karidhal as mission director. For women in science, The sky is not the limit.
