Chennai: India’s first interplanetary mission MOM will complete 100 days around Mars tomorrow after it entered the Red Planet’s orbit in September last.
The Mars Orbiter launched on November 5, 2013 onboard ISRO’s PSLV C25 from Sriharikota entered the Martian orbit on September 24, 2014 after a nine-month long odyssey, making India the first country in the world to succeed in such inter-planetary mission in the maiden attempt itself.
