India's Spacecraft 'mangalyaan' Successfully Enters Mars Orbit by asala1: 4:14am On Sep 24, 2014 |
India has successfully put a satellite into orbit around Mars on its first attempt. The Mangalyaan robotic probe arrived in orbit early on Wednesday following a 10-month journey from Earth. A 24-minute engine burn slowed the probe down enough to allow it to be captured by Mars' gravity. PM Narendra Modi congratulated the scientists and said India had achieved the "near impossible by successfully reaching Mars". It's the first country in the world to succeed in its first attempt to enter the Mars orbit, said S. Satish, a space expert based in Bangalore, India. "It's a great technical achievement for the country," he said. To date, only the U.S., Europe and the Soviets have successfully sent spacecraft to Mars. China's joint mission with Russia in 2011, which contained the Chinese Mars satellite, Yinhuo-1 stalled and eventually fell back to Earth. Japan's 1998 attempt with the spacecraft Nozomi was also unsuccessful due to fuel problems. ISRO spent significantly less than NASA on its Mars mission. Some space observers noted that India's Mars orbiter cost less than the $100 million budget for the space thriller "Gravity." "It shows how optimal is the design, that way we're able to cut cost and we're not compromising quality," Satish said. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-28268186 http://edition.cnn.com/2014/09/23/world/asia/mars-india-orbiter/index.html?hpt=ias_c1

Don't worry, a sub-committee is working on the committee already. Ours will be the "embezzlement robotic probe".... 2 Likes |

You can trust the white supremacist western media to downplay and take a muted stance on this great accomplishment from the Indians. Their skin colour is not bright enough for them to to be taken seriously. 4 Likes

I am really impressed with this laudable achievement of theirs. I hope Nigeria will learn from india in her recent strides in science and technology. It is just sad that we are still running here and there to buy military equipments where countries like Iran,india are making drones and different forms of spacecrafts. 1 Like |

bigtt76: They are trying to project PDP on to Mars by 2015So if Nigeria spends billions of dollars getting people to space,you will not see anything wrong with it? lol. You people are not ready for devt yet, as you dont even know your priorities. 1 Like |

Rawani: You can trust the white supremacist western media to downplay and take a muted stance on this great accomplishment from the Indians. Their skin colour is not bright enough for them to to be taken serious. Yes, you are right. MSM with their pull them down syndrome with comments like these: Others like economist-activist Jean Dreze have said the mission "seems to be part of the Indian elite's delusional quest for superpower status". or What if the 16,000 scientists and engineers now working on space development were deployed instead to fix rotten sanitation? And why should donors bother to help tackle poverty where governments have enough spare resources to think about space? For some countries, at least, decent answers exist to such questions - See more at: http://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2013/11/economist-explains-0#sthash.VCvriNyB.dpuf or From a distance, India's extra-terrestrial ambitions might seem like a waste of money. The country still has immense numbers of poor people: two-fifths of its children remain stunted from malnutrition and half the population lack proper toilets. - See more at: http://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2013/11/economist-explains-0#sthash.VCvriNyB.dpuf The truth is you can hardly read any MSM news or report without statements like these ending it. 1 Like |

If you don't know about something, why don't you just ask? At least, that won't kill you! FYI, we have the BEST and the MOST active space programme in the whole of Africa. By next year, we will be sending a man to space. |

craziebone: You are joking right? Which space? I guess it is the space between your house and your next neighbour. None of Nigeria's satellite in the earth orbit was built and lunched from Nigeria. All na my friend help me. You are here talking about putting a man in space, I like your optimism but it doesn't help. 1 Like |

Welll, call those articles eurocentric all you want, BUT there is an element of truth there. I bet you would say the same assuming Nigeria/GEJ sent a probe to mars. asala1: |

chulla12: Welll, call those articles eurocentric all you want, BUT there is an element of truth there. You can't compare Nigeria to India on that level, and NO, i won't say the same for Nigeria. India has developed their space program to a far higher level and it is business there, they have lunch more than 70 satellites and about 35 of those for foreign countries (many of them for developed countries). At the present, there is about $200 billions worth of business in space industry and every right thinking county want to have a share of it. What India is saying is that, they can do it well at a lesser price. Same can't be said of our space program here in Nigeria. |
