Indian Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) which is also called as Mangalyaan, Sends
1st Picture of Earth the single greenish, yellow and cream picture of India and its
neighbourhood.
The severe cyclonic storm 'Helen' hurtling towards Andhra Pradesh coast has also
been captured.
ISRO’s spokesman Deviprasad Karnik noted that the regular IRS remote sensing
satellites take pictures of Earth all the time but from distances of 600-800 km from
ground. This picture was taken from several times that distance.
If Mangalyaan is successful,then it it is a great achivement for India as missions of
china and japan for red planet failed to achieve their goals.
This is also a much cheaper red planet mission as compare to other countries.
