Mangalyaan enters orbit of red planet
On September 24, 2014, India created Space history when ISRO's Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) successfully entered the orbit of the red planet. And in doing so, it created a record of sorts by being the first nation to enter the Mars orbit in its very first attempt, besides being the cheapest every programme till now.
It is a matter of immense pride for all Indians as the scientific community has delivered yet again. It may be mentioned that Europe, US and Russian programmes have managed to orbit or land on Mars, but only after several attempts.
The Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi who witnessed the insertion procedure at ISRO in Bangalore, praised the scientists for their hard work and dedication and for having gone beyond the boundaries of human enterprise and imagination. Mr. Narendra Modi said that he had chosen to be present at ISRO today, unmindful of success or failure of the mission.
Exhorting the scientists to set even more challenging targets for themselves, he said he had confidence that they would be able to achieve even those targets. You have "made a habit of achieving the impossible." About the acronym MOM, he said 'MOM never disappoints', thus striking an emotional chord.
Mr. Narendra Modi said the success of the space programme is a shining symbol of what we are capable of as a nation. A successful space programme generates applications across multiple domains. The efforts of India`s space scientists are deepening our governance, strengthening our economy and improving our lives. Noting that the whole nation celebrates when the cricket team wins a tournament, the Prime Minister described the success of the Mars Orbiter Mission as a thousand times greater, and said all Indians must celebrate the success of our space scientists today. Let India celebrate the achievements of its scientists. Let students in every school and college applaud their efforts, he added.
