Shanmuga Subramanian, the eagle-eyed citizen space scientist who found Vikram moon lander said on Tuesday that he took spotting it as a challenge when NASA couldn’t.
He said in an email interview to IANS: “It was something challenging as even NASA can’t find out so why can’t we try out? And that’s the thought that led me to search for Vikram lander.”
Subramanian, who works as an information technology architect, in his spare time looked through the images taken by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) camera on September 17 and spotted debris from Vikram.
