New Delhi: The country’s first inter-planetary mission MOM or Mangalyaan launched on November 5, 2013 on board ISRO’s PSLV C25 from Sriharikota has completed 100 days around Mars.
India’s maiden Mars Mission successfully reached the red planet on September 24, elevating the country to a position that was at par with other elite nations in the global space race.
India joined the United States, Russia and Europe in successfully sending probes to orbit or land on Mars.
