Question

Write a short summary of the passage ‘MOM never disappoints’ was how Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated the

scientists of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) at the successful insertion

of the maiden Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) into the Martian orbit. At 07.47 IST, the

spacecraft Mangalyaan started orbiting the Red Planet and 12 minutes later, the sig-

nal was received at the ISRO’s Mission control Centre.

It was a remarkable achievement by any standara. With this success, India joins

the elite club’of three (Russia, the United States and the European Space Agency)

that has put a spacecraft into Martian orbit. What is noteworthy is that India has

been able to do so in its first attempt and at a fraction of the cost of earlier missions

by other nations. The total cost of the mission is about Rs. 450 crore ($ 75 million).

To put this in perspective, the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution Mission of

the US’s NASA which beat Mangalyaan by three days to reach Mars cost around

$700 million.

The Project was approved by the Central Government in 2012 and it is to the credit

of ISRO to have managed to assemble the spacecraft and launch it in a span of 15

months, something which is highly unusual for a space mission of this complexity.​
