Meticulous data analysis brought my eureka moment: Subramanian

It was meticulous data analysis for about eight hours everyday and burning the midnight oil that helped him zero in on the crash site, says Chennai based software engineer Shanmuga Subramanian credited for helping US space agency NASA to discover Chandrayaan-2's Vikram lander's debris on the lunar surface.

For the 33-year-old graduate in mechanical engineering, it was sheer hardwork that involved poring over many gigabytes of images released by NASA over three weeks sans any high end technology or other gadgets that led him to his "eureka moment."
Asked if he would shift to a field related to space technology, Subramanian, an application developer by profession, said he would continue to pursue his passion only "outside of my work."
"I need to study more."
