In 2014, Dr. K. Radhakrishnan was named one of the top ten scientists in the world by Nature magazinethe first Indian scientist to be so honoured. Earlier that year, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) successfully ran the Mars Orbiter Mission, popularly known as the Mangalyaan mission. ISROs Moon Rover, scheduled for 2018, is also Radhakrishnans brainchild. Witness to the transformation of Indias space programme in the early 1980s, Radhakrishnan cut his teeth with the SLV-3 project, the countrys first satellite launch vehicle. He worked with stalwarts like Dr Vikram Sarabhai, Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Prof. Satish Dhawan and Mr Y.S. Rajan, wearing several different hats during his illustrious and challenging career. Radhakrishnan eventually turned major setbacks into roaring successes by his unfailingly belief in human endeavour and a commitment to excellence. Packed with invaluable information and insights, this fascinating memoir takes us behind the scenes of Indias cutting-edge world of scientific achievement.
