@DJSnM They surely have touchdown sensors on lander legs, it's probable that they have a polling algorithm from multiple sensors to ensure landing. But this might be an edge case, GNC should have been robust to this scenario though.
COK to BLR flight 6E 6922 delayed by almost 4 hours now. We were asked to board the airplane and now stuck for over an hour. Now being told that pilots are not available. Still doesn't explain why boarding was completed without a pilot.

@KevZag Is the thrust level 250N. Also interesting choice of MMH, while it gives better thermal and CG dispersion performance than hydrazine the Isp would be inferior.
We have been organizing Space Career awareness programs for students in partnership with NPOCA. It's a platform where space professionals from different verticals of the industry join us to share their journey, advice and skills required to reach the dreams.

Don't know the semantics of it, but normally doesn't robotics translate to some kind of mechanical actuation.
