India's journey to the Mars has begun with the successful launch of the
Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM). Indian Space Reserach Organisation (ISRO)
joined an elite club of just four agencies in the world which dared to
travel to Mars. The Rs 450 crore Mars Orbiter Mission was successfully
launched from Dr Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Sriharikota, a
small coastal village in Andhra Pradesh on Tuesday at 2:38 pm.
Two
ships Nalanda and Yamuna stationed by the ISRO in the South Pacific
Seas sighted the Mars Orbiter separating from the launch vehicle; it has
been tracked by deep space satellites and transmitted back to
international reception centres across the globe. The ejection of the
satellite over the South Pacific was flawless.
