A Day in the Life of an ISRO Scientist

Do you know what is it to love your job? The intense dedication and pure passion driving you to make your workplace your home, your life, your everything? The feeling that makes you focus only on one thing ‘to get the job done, perfectly’?

If you are not aware of this feeling, here’s a suggestion: Take a trip to the ISRO office! Be friends with some ISRO scientists and if you fail to do so, lurk outside and observe them. You will observe their heads held high, backs straight and minds filled with purpose.

You will go back to your work place, inspired!

Of course, at this time, the people at ISRO are naturally in love with their jobs. Their maiden spacecraft, Mars orbiter Mission (MOM) entered the Martian atmosphere in its first attempt. Its journey form planet blue to planet red achieved another feat when MOM joined NASA, Russia and Europe in the Martian environment. Not to mention they made India the first Asian country to accomplish it in just $74 million. And all this by resourceful Indian scientists!

Behind every successful space mission is a team of hard working, hardly sleeping and passionate scientists. They strategized, designed, implemented, tested and launched the mission that carved India’s name in red!

Who are the brains behind Mangalyaan? Who are the self effacing scientists who made it happen with such dedication and efforts before and after success of MOM? Who are these dreamers brimming with confidence?

We take a look.

Although it is rocket science, it not science fiction! It is when science gets glorious, allowing ISRO scientists to do what they do best: find solutions to challenges being completely focused.

Have you ever wondered these scientists get the same number of hours as we do. Then what is it that they do different?

Lets take a look at a day in their life!
