Rocket Queen! South Indian woman scientist responsible for Agni-5 missile test success!
Sheena rani has drawn inspiration and encouragement in this field from former President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, hailed as India's 'Missile Man' and former Chairman of DRTO. Like Kalam, she started his career at ISRO's vikram Sarabhai Space Centre.
India successfully completed Mission Divyastra, the first stage test of Agni-5 missile on Monday. Announcing the achievement, PM Modi also praised DRDO scientists. Sheena Rani, a female scientist working at the Defense Research and Development Institute in Hyderabad, has played a key role in this.
Since 1999, she has been working in the manufacturing of Agni Missile. Her role was crucial in the testing of the indigenously developed Agni-5 missile with MIRV technology. "I am proud to be a member of DRDO helping to protect india," he says.
Sheena rani is acting in the vein of 'Agni Putri' Tessi Thomas, India's renowned missile technician who has already played a major role in the development of Agni missiles.
Sheena Rani, 57, is a scientist at the Advanced Systems Laboratory of the Defense Research Development Organization (TRDO) in Hyderabad. Specializing in Computer Science, he completed his Electronics and Communications Engineering course from the college of Engineering, Thiruvananthapuram.

He worked for eight years at the vikram Sarabhai Space Center (VSSC), India's premier civil rocketry laboratory. After the Pokhran nuclear test in 1998, he moved to DRDO. Since 1999 Sheena rani has been working on missile control systems for Agni series missiles.
Sheena rani has drawn inspiration and encouragement in this field from former President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, hailed as India's 'Missile Man' and former Chairman of DRTO. Like Kalam, he started his career at ISRO's vikram Sarabhai Space Centre. He later moved to DRDO to lead the Integrated Missile Development Programme.
Another person who helped shape his career was Dr. avinash Chander, a missile technician who led DRDO through some difficult years. Dr. Chander described Sheena rani as "always smiling, ready to innovate and her dedication to the Agni Missile Project was amazing, yesterday's launch was her crowning achievement."
Her husband, PSRS Shastri, also worked at DRDO. He was also in charge of the Kautilya satellite launched by isro in 2019 to gather electronic intelligence.
DRDO has completed the first successful test of the indigenously developed Agni-5 missile. Named 'Mission Divyastra', the experiment was carried out from Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Island in Odisha.
The new weapon system developed by DRDO has MIRV technology. This ensures the power to strike targets at different locations simultaneously. With this, india also joins the ranks of countries with MIRV technology. india is the sixth country to possess MIRV-capable missiles after the US, UK, Russia, france and China.
The MIRV payload consists of a single missile carrying multiple nuclear warheads. Each is meant to hit a different target. This gives india the ability to target targets in the east and west within a radius of over 5,000 km.
