Congrats to all the Indians.......!!!!!!! India created history on Wednesday, becoming the first country in the world to succeed on its first Mars mission when Isros Mangalyaan slipped into Martian orbit after a few nail-biting moments.The country joined the United States, European Space Agency and the former Soviet Union in the elite club of Martian explorers with the Mars Orbiter Mission, affectionately called MOM. The spacecraft is expected to circle the planet for at least six months, following an elliptical orbit that gets within 365 kilometers (227 miles) of the planets surface at its closest and 80,000 kilometers (49,700 miles) at its farthest. zeenews.india/news/space/mars-orbiter-mission-india-creates-history-mangalyaan-enters-martian-orbit_1474820.html hindustantimes/specials/coverage/marsorbitermission/marsorbitermission/final-countdown-begins-as-mangalyaan-looks-set-to-slip-into-martian-orbit/sp-article10-1267726.aspx
