BREAKING! Mars Orbiter Put In Orbit Successfully!!

This is what the ABC wrote on the Mars mission last year.

"Lacking a rocket large enough to fire the satellite directly out of earth's atmosphere, ISRO has also had to rely on another famed Indian specialism of "Jugaad" - confecting a cheap work-around solution.

Instead of flying directly, the 350-tonne rocket will orbit earth for nearly a month, building up the necessary velocity to break free from the earth's gravitational pull."

French newspaper Le Monde explains the term Jugaad : France's Le Monde uses the Indianism 'Jugaad' to explain how India managed the cheapest Mars mission ever for just Rs 450 crore.

"La mission indienne a en effet t conue selon le principe du jugaad , un principe typiquement indien que l'on pourrait rapprocher du systme D et qui consiste trouver la solution la moins onreuse possible."

L'Inde réussit sa première mise en orbite autour de Mars

The India continues its conquest of space. The country has managed to place a spacecraft in orbit of Mars, Wednesday, Sept. 24. "Congratulations to you all, the entire country. The story is written today , "said Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modin while he was at the headquarters of the mission led by the Indian Space Agency (ISRO) in Bangalore.
"We have succeeded in our first attempt. ISRO has designed the spacecraft in a record time of three years, every Indian is proud of you , "said the Prime Minister before the members of the space agency. The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) took off on November 5 2013 Designed and produced with a reduced budget, it has been successfully placed in orbit of the planet red Wednesday at 8 pm 2 local time (3 h 32).

India has become the first Asian country to reach Mars. Only the United States,Russia and Europe have succeeded in this business before. This is a major success for India at the large Chinese rival, who had failed in this quest, as well as Japan . The mission to Mars was announced by the Indian government soon after the failure of a Chinese mission in 2011.

With a budget of $ 74 million, the Indian mission only cost a fraction of the Maven NASA spacecraft, American mission into orbit of Mars successfully on Sunday. The Indian leader said that the amount spent on this mission was less than the cost of sci-fi Gravity produced in Hollywood, estimated at $ 100 million.

"Jugaad"

Indian probe is equipped with sensors to measure the presence of methane in the atmosphere of Mars, which accredit the hypothesis of a primitive form of life on this planet. It should run for six months around the Red Planet, about 500 kilometers from its soil.

This success anchor industrial and technological reputation of India, which produces the cheapest car in the world and has become the leader in innovation at low cost. The Indian mission has indeed been designed according to the principle of "Jugaad", a typically Indian principle that could bring the "System D", which is to find the least expensive solution.

The rocket that launched the Mars Orbiter , golden in color and about the size of a small car, was too powerful for the little mission. Also, engineers of ISRO had the idea of making turning around the Earth for a month for him to take enough speed to escape the gravity Earth ed.

Haathi chale bazar, kutte bhonke hazaar. That's exemplified on this thread.

It's a great achievement.. Not sure how sending a vessel to Mars would give solutions to the myriad of social issues India face but still it's a great technological achievement for India especially given that the cost of it was mere 1/10th of projects that NASA would have spend.. Congrats
Good question.
Read about Godrej. It's a well know home appliance brand in India.
It will clear all of your queries.
Money solve all the issues and in today's world technology is money.

@Gibbs bro, please stop trolling otherwise I will shove 9 inches in your mouth. of Mars offcourse. :p:

Mate go back to my first post.. See if there was any troll attempt made. @Aarush was considerate enough to clear any misconceptions made, Which was accepted with appreciation

Not my fault that some insecure sheila's got their panties wet, And went on with throwing hissy fits. :disagree:

Congrats my indian brothers :)... may you prosper and may this region prosper as well.
Truly a extraordinary feat of achievement for not just India but for all South Asian nations. I hope all goes well.:D

Science and technology are the only tools to improve humanity's lot. Irrespective of nationality, let us celebrate this feat - putting a new "moon" around a distant planet for less than half the cost of a new fighter jet, less than the cost of making a hollywood film, less that 10% the cost of NASA's mission.

Here is a song about the first artificial moon, 'Sputnik' by the USSR. That set off a new age - all our cell phones, TV, internet, PDF itself are possible only because of that daring endeavour and what followed.
