Meet the Chennai techie who helped Nasa locate Chandrayaan 2 Vikram lander

India Today  

This arresting Nasa image, released on December 3, shows the precise spot on the Moon's surface where Vikram, the lander deployed in India's Chandrayaan-2 mission, hard-landed in early September. Vikram went incommunicado shortly before its scheduled touchdown near the lunar south pole. These pictures are the result of weeks of work involving Nasa's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera team and Shanmuga Subramanian, a Chennai-based techie who first located the debris in the US space agency's images. Shanmuga Subramanian is a 33 year old app developer, mechanical engineer working and IT architect with a IT firm in Chennai.
