we’re doing this is called the Google
we’re doing this is called the Google Lunar XPrize it’s a global space race
Lunar XPrize it’s a global space race
Lunar XPrize it’s a global space race that started off in 2007 we discovered
that started off in 2007 we discovered
that started off in 2007 we discovered this competition in 2009 and just like
this competition in 2009 and just like
this competition in 2009 and just like any Indian we said yeah somebody else
any Indian we said yeah somebody else
any Indian we said yeah somebody else could do it
could do it
could do it we when we discovered this competition
we when we discovered this competition
we when we discovered this competition there was no Indian diamond and we just
there was no Indian diamond and we just
there was no Indian diamond and we just naturally assumed that yes some Indian
naturally assumed that yes some Indian
naturally assumed that yes some Indian will do it and what we will do is we
will do it and what we will do is we
will do it and what we will do is we will support them so we waited a year
will support them so we waited a year
will support them so we waited a year and a half then literally the last day

do a couple of orbits around the earth
do a couple of orbits around the earth and then slingshot towards the moon once
and then slingshot towards the moon once
and then slingshot towards the moon once we get close enough to the moon we slow
we get close enough to the moon we slow
we get close enough to the moon we slow down and basically get caught by the

down and basically get caught by the moon’s gravity once we’re caught by the
moon’s gravity once we’re caught by the
moon’s gravity once we’re caught by the moon’s gravity we keep reducing our
moon’s gravity we keep reducing our
moon’s gravity we keep reducing our orbits till we enter what’s our orbit s3
orbits till we enter what’s our orbit s3
orbits till we enter what’s our orbit s3 which is a saline eccentric orbit and
which is a saline eccentric orbit and
which is a saline eccentric orbit and that’s how far chandrayaan-1 god so
that’s how far chandrayaan-1 god so
that’s how far chandrayaan-1 god so we’re 99.99% confident we’ll get till
we’re 99.99% confident we’ll get till
we’re 99.99% confident we’ll get till here because the mission director of

Shenron one is now the mission director
Shenron one is now the mission director of Team in this movie mission as well so

that’s the kind of experience that’s
that’s the kind of experience that’s going behind executing this mission once
going behind executing this mission once
going behind executing this mission once we’re in s3 and you know dawn occurs on
we’re in s3 and you know dawn occurs on
we’re in s3 and you know dawn occurs on the surface
the surface
the surface we initiate our descent and this is by
we initiate our descent and this is by
we initiate our descent and this is by far the most exciting 900 seconds of
far the most exciting 900 seconds of
far the most exciting 900 seconds of this mission their entire journey from
this mission their entire journey from
this mission their entire journey from the earth to the moon is about 28 days
the earth to the moon is about 28 days
the earth to the moon is about 28 days 900 seconds is what keeps us praying to
900 seconds is what keeps us praying to
900 seconds is what keeps us praying to every god we know because this is a
every god we know because this is a
every god we know because this is a completely autonomous process this is
completely autonomous process this is
completely autonomous process this is the most tricky and crucial part of this
the most tricky and crucial part of this
the most tricky and crucial part of this mission and that’s why only three
mission and that’s why only three
mission and that’s why only three countries in the world have managed to
countries in the world have managed to
countries in the world have managed to land on the moon it’s not it’s not quite
land on the moon it’s not it’s not quite
land on the moon it’s not it’s not quite as easy as dry as building a
as easy as dry as building a
as easy as dry as building a self-driving car on earth but it’s it’s
self-driving car on earth but it’s it’s
self-driving car on earth but it’s it’s about 10 times more or order of
about 10 times more or order of
about 10 times more or order of magnitude complexity problem over there

so once we initiate descent it’s a
so once we initiate descent it’s a completely honest process the spacecraft
completely honest process the spacecraft
completely honest process the spacecraft initiates a descent autonomously lands
initiates a descent autonomously lands
initiates a descent autonomously lands on the surface of the moon once we are
on the surface of the moon once we are
on the surface of the moon once we are there we have 14 days of surface
there we have 14 days of surface
there we have 14 days of surface operations and we get to drive Iker
operations and we get to drive Iker
operations and we get to drive Iker around for 14 days so this is the team
around for 14 days so this is the team
around for 14 days so this is the team that I’m part of and this is as you can
that I’m part of and this is as you can
that I’m part of and this is as you can see on the screen a very very diverse
see on the screen a very very diverse
see on the screen a very very diverse bunch of people we have basically three
