India’s MOM:

India made history by becoming the first country in the world to enter the Martian orbit in its maiden attempt. The success of India's successful mission to Mars "will go down as landmark in history", said Prime Minister Narendra Modi after Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) entered the orbit of the red planet. The Mars orbit insertion began in the early hours at 4.17 a.m. when the spacecraft switched over to the medium gain antenna for emitting and receiving radio signals. After rotating the Orbiter in the direction of Mars at 6.57 a.m., the main engine was ignited at 7.17 a.m. to enable the spacecraft enter the Martian orbit. MOM turned out to be one brilliant example for Modi’s Make in India campaign. And the key aspect is the cost factors that shun the world. 450 Cr is all it took to make MOM.
