India makes history with first spaceship to orbit Mars
India triumphed in its first interplanetary mission, placing a
satellite into orbit around Mars on Wednesday morning and catapulting
the country into an elite club of deep-space explorers.
Scientists broke into wild cheers as the orbiter's engines completed 24 minutes of burn time and maneuvered into its designated place around the red planet.
The success of India's Mars Orbiter Mission, affectionately nicknamed MOM, brings India into an elite club of Martian explorers that includes United States, the European Space Agency and the former Soviet Union.
