India will launch its first mission to Mars this year, President Pranab Mukherjee said on Thursday, as the emerging Asian nation looks to play catch up in the global space race alongside the United States, Russia and its giant neighbor China."Several space missions are planned for 2013, including India’s first mission to Mars and the launch of our first navigational satellite," Mukherjee told parliament.India will send a satellite in October via an unmanned spacecraft to orbit the red planet, blasting off from the southeastern coast in a mission expected to cost about $83 million, scientists who are part of the mission say.The spacecraft, which will be made in India, will take nine months to reach Mars and then launch itself in an elliptical orbit about 500 km (310 miles) from the planet."The mission is ready to roll," Deviprasad Karnik, a scientist from the India Space Research Organization (ISRO), said by phone from the city of Bangalore.India’s mission to Mars has drawn criticism in a country suffering from high levels of malnutrition and power shortages, and currently experiencing its worst slowdown in growth in ten years. But India has long argued that technology developed in its space program has practical applications to everyday life.India’s space exploration program began in 1962. Five years ago, its Chandrayaan satellite found evidence of water on the moon. India is now looking at landing a wheeled rover on the moon in 2014.http://www.newsdaily.com/stories/bre91k0mr-us-india-mars/

  • Just imagine all this money $83 million could be spent on the needy in India.
    Again this is the fault of the leaders and government of India ...corrupt to the core.
  • Another point to consider is that in so many Indian Sacred Scriptures they say that one cannot go to other Planets in earthly vessels created by humans but one can go if Spritually advanced by leaving ones body like the Maha Yogis do.
  • This is an exciting event; it's nice to see that humanity is progressing technologically at such a high rate.  Maybe one day we'll be able to colonize Mars. 

  • So India has a lot of rupees to burn in Space Projects when so many are starving and homeless in India.
    The Bastards who are involved in this Project which includes the President should be put in the Spacecraft with a one way ticket to Mars.
    DO NOT LOOK FOR OTHER PLANETS TO LIVE ON IF YOU CAN NOT LOOK AFTER THE PLANET YOU CALL HOME
