#ProudOfISRO ISRO can take risks, learn from failures and script success stories. Great institution. Our risk-averse corporate sectors who invest in bonds instead of capex need to learn from ISRO.

"India had to develop the lander indigenously after Russia, which was to build the lander under the original plan, backed out. Given the mass of the lander, the propulsion system on-board was required to produce thrust of around 3.2 to 4 Kilonewton. ++

++To make such an engine, ISRO would have had to go back to the drawing board — a move that could have delayed the mission.
ISRO decided to use the existing technology instead."

"This was done by enhancing the thrust level of its Liquid Apogee Motor (LAM), which has a 440 N thruster, to 800 N. ISRO uses 440 N LAMs to manoeuvre its satellites in space."
