          Since the conception of Mangalyaan, ISRO had made significant efforts to involve more women in their project. Thirty per cent of the Chandrayaan 2 crew is constituted by women. Ritu Karidhal is one among them and is known as the ‘Rocket Woman of India’.



          Ritu Karidhal is an aerospace engineer and she now works as the Mission Director of Chandrayaan 2. She had played a crucial role in the development of the Mangalyaan project, holding the position of the Operations Director. Recognizing her work and potential, Ritu Karidhal was awarded the ISRO Young Scientist Award in 2007.
