siliconindia news bureau
Bangalore: Tessy Thomas, who was made the project director of the 2,500 km Agni II missile last year has now been appointed as the project director of India's most ambitious missile, the 5000 km Agni V. the missile is slated to be tested for the first time next year.
Tessy is an expert on 'solid system propellants' which fuel the Agni missiles. She is a B.Tech from Thrissur Engineering College, Calicut and M.Tech from Pune-based Defence Institute of Advanced Technologies. Thomas has been associated with the Agni programme for around two years now. She is currently based at the Advanced Systems Laboratory.
Popularly called 'Missile Woman', Tessy was first assigned to the Agni programme in 1988 after she joined the Defense Research and Development Organization, by Missile Man and former President A P J Abdul Khalam. The missile will propel India towards having powerful ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile) capabilities. The government has sanctioned Rs 2,500 crore for the project.

making something you are not going to use?
Waste of money. Maybe they should launch
satellites. Satellites for what?"

Nation's security itself makes her so special
to 1,165,800,000 peoples of Republic of India
and that to developing a ICBM with a range
of 5000Km.

29: Same Sense of Intergrity here too. You are
absolutely right Preeti.
Why we divide our Nation, as UP, MP, AP, HP, ASSAM, DELHI, MAHARASHTRA, KERLA, OR TAMILNADU Etc.
In my sense, We all are first Indian, and we are extremly proud on what we have at the end, being a true devotee of Humanity and a Common religion among ourself that is our One Cast, One Religion, One Color, One Creed, One Love, One Prayer, and it is Our Love, Our India...
About this News about a Women, we should really have to glad her as a Chairperson to this Post and designation, after all this means that India is truly secular and now, last but not the least we are aiming truly toward the dreams of One India, Free and Lively in Culture... as we are moving fast but to a right head ago, as what Mahatma Gandhi had dreamed, what Nehru had dreamed, What Maulana Kalam had dreamed, what Govari, had dreamed and What Krishnan had dream to bring all as a United and Beautiful India...
