"I was earlier at ISRO. I worked there as a scientist engineer. I worked there for 16 years, then I left. There was a lot of pressure there, satellite assembly has very high pressure. The tolerance is 0.001. Just to assemble one full part, there are 10 parts. In those 10 parts, each one comes as 0.001, 0.002, 0.003 like that. You have to know which part goes where and what result it will give," the former scientist added.
"One strand of hair has a thickness of about 0.004, around 4 microns. We have to do assembly with a tolerance of 1 micron. If even one hair falls inside after two parts are assembled, it becomes 5 microns. That level of accuracy is needed."
