A well known Indian scientist has done a lot to help us learn about the solar system. His life story, like a good science movie, has been full of big finds and hard work. He was born in 1953 and his work life is like a space trip that was planned very well, with each step helping him reach great things. He is known for his work in planets and space chemistry. His work on the early solar system, like looking at moon stuff from the Apollo trips, has taught us a lot about how planets were made and changed. People who work with him say he is very careful and can put together different pieces of info to make a clear story. A big point in his work was being the main scientist for the Chandrayaan 1 trip, India's first moon trip in 2008. This trip was a big success for India and gave us important info about water on the Moon. Someone who worked with him said that his leadership helped make Chandrayaan 1 a success. He has also helped many young scientists, making them want to explore space. His work is not just in science papers, but also in the minds of the people he has taught.
