Indian-origin NASA scientist Swati Mohan has played a significant role in NASA’s Perseverance rover landing on Mars.

Joe Biden, who was sworn in as the 46th President of the US on January 20 this year, has created history by appointing at least 55 Indian-American people to key positions in his administration.
