Hyderabad-based Mishra Dhatu Nigam (Midhani) played a crucial role in India s successful Chandrayaan-3 moon mission by developing maraging steel. Despite the refusal of advanced nations to share the material or technology, Midhani took up the challenge of creating the specialized alloy, which is known for its strength and resilience. The locally-produced maraging steel not only ensured self-reliance in space technology but also met the highest quality standards.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission initiated on July 14, entered the moon's orbit tonight at 12:01 am. Here's how ISRO scientists are using the Translunar injection technique to make a perfect moon landing.
