Who is Nandini Harinath? All about Indian scientist whose saree was displayed at US museum | Today News
A saree worn by Indian space scientist Nandini Harinath during a major milestone in India’s Mars Orbiter Mission has become part of an exhibit at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC. Known globally for displaying historic aircraft, spacecraft and aviation artefacts, the museum has now added an item tied to India’s space journey — a saree worn by one of ISRO’s prominent women scientists during the successful launch phase of the country’s first interplanetary mission. The spacecraft was launched from Satish Dhawan Space Centre on November 5, 2013.
