Mars Mission a big success

India

As the spacecraft approaches the Martian orbit, ISRO would reduce the velocity so that it's captured by Martian orbit; otherwise if it continues with the same velocity, it would fly past Mars. "Being a complex mission of this nature, any day you advance (of the 300-day journey from earth to Mars), it's a progress," says ISRO Chairman K Radhakrishnan.
