Key figures from the Chandrayaan-2 mission, including project director P Veeramuthuvel, associate project director K Kalpana, and mission director M Srikanth, were instrumental in Chandrayaan-3’s success.

They attribute their achievement to an intensive mission review process, diligent rebuilding efforts, and unwavering dedication since the Chandrayaan-2 experience.

K Kalpana expressed, “We started rebuilding our spacecraft after the Chandrayaan-2 experience. It has been a case of breathing in and breathing out the Chandrayaan mission for the last four years for us. Starting from the reconfiguration, all the special tests and simulations we have done meticulously.”

M Sankaran, director of the UR Rao Space Center, responsible for the power, communication, and basic structures of the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft, elaborated on the struggles faced in incorporating lessons from the 2019 failures.

He noted, “Today we have achieved what we set out to achieve in 2019. It was delayed for about four years, but we have done it.” He emphasized that the entire project team, not just the project director and associate director, had been wholly immersed in Chandrayaan-3 for the past four years.
