ISRO successfully launched Aditya-L1, the country's first space-based mission to study the Sun. The team behind the solar mission is being led by project director Nigar Shaji, who has been working at the space agency for 35 years. Nigar Shaji, 59, joined ISRO's Satellite Centre, now U R Rao Satellite Centre, in 1987. She went on to make significant contributions to the Indian Remote Sensing, communication, and interplanetary satellite programmes while serving various roles.
