Mars Orbiter cost £45 million ($74 million), three-quarters that of GravityIt took 300 days to travel more than 420 million miles (670 million km)Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed it 'near impossible' successThe spacecraft, called Mangalyaan, will now study red planet's surfaceSpacecraft will study Mars for methane, a key chemical for life on EarthData will help scientists better understand how planets and life evolvedThe Mangalyaan spacecraft successfully entered orbit around Mars this morning, making India the first Asian nation to reach the red planet.The Mars Orbiter Mission cost £45 million ($74 million), or about three-quarters the amount to make the Oscar-winning movie Gravity about astronauts stranded in space.It arrived in orbit around the red planet after a tense 300-day marathon travelling more than 420 million miles (670 million km).mJust an hour after reaching the orbit, India's space agency, ISRO, received the first photographic data of the red planet’s terrain, which will be unveiled later this afternoon.Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the Mars Orbiter Mission (Mom) crowned a 'near impossible' push to become the only country to complete the trip on its maiden attempt.Both Russia and the US failed their first attempts to Mars, while the Chinese mission to Mars, dubbed Yinghuo-1 mission failed in 2011 and the Japanese mission to Mars ran out of fuel.'History has been created today,' said Modi at the state-run Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) when it was announced the mission had been accomplished.Both Russia and the US failed their first attempts to Mars, while the Chinese mission to Mars, dubbed Yinghuo-1 mission failed in 2011 and the Japanese mission to Mars ran out of fuel.Some facts about Mars :On average, it lies 141.6 million miles from the sun.With a diameter of 4,222 miles, it’s around half the size of the Earth and has an average temperature of -85F (-65C).Gravity is much less powerful - slightly less than 40 per cent of ours.The atmosphere is desperately thin – one per cent of Earth’s pressure – and 95 per cent of it is carbon dioxide.It boasts the solar system’s biggest mountain – Olympus Mons, a dead volcano.It measures 335 miles across and rises to a height of 88,000ft, which is almost three times higher than Everest.Mars has two cosmic sidekicks – the moons Deimos and Phobos.Mars’s red colouring comes from the iron oxide that coats its surface.Mars has huge amounts of ice at its polar caps.If they melted, it would cover the whole planet in water 11-metres deep, according to Nasa.Read Full Story Plus See Photos And Charts @ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2767471/India-triumphs-maiden-Mars-mission.html

    KRISHNA: thanks for noting that the amount of money India spent on this mission was less than the amount of money spent to make the movie "Gravity."  I guess India doesn't believe in financially rewarding movie stars who insist that the Earth has become warmer in the past ten years.

    Big Question Marks Here???
    I go with Cmdr Vrillion of The Ashtar Command who has stated clearly DO NOT LOOK FOR OTHER PLANETS TO LIVE ON IF YOU CANNOT LOOK AFTER THE PLANET YOU CALL HOME.
    Next : cost of mission £45 Million THIS AMOUNT COULD HAVE BEEN USED TO FEED, HOUSE, AND CLOTHE THE POOR IN INDIA.
    Main Point is that INDIA should improve life standard for all the inhabitants of India first before planning any space projects
    Again the fault is the leaders and governments as per usual
