Delhi – India Prime Minister Narendra
Modi, said on Wednesday that India has
become the first nation to have successfully
reached Mars on its maiden attempt.
He announced from the headquarters of the
state-owned space agency in the southern city
of Bengaluru, that with 74 million dollars, the
cheapest inter-planetary mission ever to be
undertaken, an historic feat was made for the
country’s indigenous space programme.
“India has reached Mars, history has been
created, we are the only country to have
succeeded in its first attempt,” he said.
Modi said that the success was an indication
that India was a country full of determination to
succeed.
“We have made it a habit of achieving the
impossible. Humanity would not have
progressed if we had not taken such leaps into
the unknown and space is the biggest
unknown out there,” he said.
Modi said that Mars has got its Mars Orbiter
Mission, (MOM) and the moment it was named
MOM, he knew it would not disappoint.
He commended the efforts of the scientists of
Indian Space Research Organisation ( ISRO), for
the laudable achievements.
“You have inspired our future generation, in
spite of our many limitations, we aspired for the
best and the success of our space programme
has been an example of our achievement,” he
said.
Modi said ISRO joined an elite group of only
three other agencies worldwide to have
successfully reached the Red Planet.
“India has now joined the U.S. the European
Space Agency and the former Soviet Union in
the elite club of Martian explorers,’’ he said.
He said MOM was launched in November last
year, by placing its mission in the Mars orbit.

Bro. I don't beleive it. So you mean..... Not only NASA is doing the job now? Am so happy for India. Hope the Indians won't cover anything up about the red planet? Because I can see NASA is covering so many things up.

Blatant lie! Where is your source

We have to give to them as the first country to succeed in their first attempt but what is the purpose of the mission, because every nasa mission out there have a specific mission
