What is the expected life of MOM?

Yindia,in 67 years travel from Juggarr Guru to Mars Guru.
Next 20 years Mey Kya Hogga, Raam Jaane.

INDIA........... INDIA.............

ISRO................ ISRO..............

Congrats ISRO you made history & every Indian is Proud of you

12 pm is d time wen we get the fist Martian PIC....seeing the enthusiasm in d air, thanks to social media. I am sure I will find this PIC on t- shirts, on presents etc... I will present d PIC for my friends b'day...

Countdown begins 10....9.....8..... for bbc/cnn/wsj/nyt/econo-racist fartikals on: Hunger and poverty, Less than 2 dollahs a day, malnutrition, stunted children....

6 months.

While there may be plenty of racists out there, my friends and I, white, brown, Americans and Indians are all celebrating with beers. Space isn't a province of race. As an ABCD Indian, I love it. Congratulations ISRO and India!

The pictures are expected in the afternoon. I think they will be busy now doing various other things like telemetry, activation of payloads etc.

Likely heading on bbc

India third(world) country to reach Mars

Congratulations to ISRO for making India achieve unique success by Mars orbital Insertion today. India has become the first country to achieve this in its very first success. Our Scientists, Engineers and technologists in India, who have chosen to study in premier institutes and remained unlured by riches abroad, have contributed to India's great success. They have proved their capability as one of the best, efficient and effective leaders in Science and technology.










Dilbu Jinx worked. Reconfirmed and re-validated with lifetime validity.




whereas China and Japan tried and failed in their first attempt.

Wow! Sadhu! Sadhu! What a moment... and it is fantastic to be celebrating this moment with all of you.!

Congratulations, ISRO and Team Mangalyaan!

About six to ten months (per isro before MOI). I will not be surprised if it lives much longer than that.

Speed at initial telemetry
We've the signal. 1099 m/s. Expected - 1098.7 m/s

^^ What a precision job!

^that means we need to reduce it further 0.3 m/s for future course corrections. we could use the 22 newton walas for this?. or it just fine!

No sir. If you look at ISRO scientists the vast majority are not from chi-chi IITs, they largely come from RECs and local engineering colleges. A slap in the face of those who only choose to go gaga over our IITs and publish breathless farticles on how many crores package FaceBook offered some random undergrad.

Thats very mild, I was thinking more in the likes of Brishit BennCh*ds

RB, they all would soon become IITs.

Congratulations to ISRO and the Team

Yes it is like you will find a Keralite everywhere in this universe. US landed an austronaut in moon and he was greeted there by a mallu tea shop guy.

Mars Orbiter Mission will phail onleee

Ahh, Now I see the reason. Wizaard in Chief has also pitched in. No way MOM could fail. It could only Phail ( expand).
So we may , in due course, send Mahindra Scorpio Mars or Tata Mars Safari to land on its surface.

Well to its credit, BBC's first report was not a DIR.
India's first Mars satellite 'Mangalyaan' enters orbit

Only the US, Europe and Russia have previously sent missions to Mars, but India is the first country to succeed on its first attempt.

Those grapes are sour!
Coming back to topic. NASA's Deep Space Network antenna in Canberra - Rooland is receiving the data from MOM right now, data rate of 40kbps , which is far better than the 28.8kpbs we had 12 to 15 ago with dial up for internet access!

I cannot say how happy I am, that finally ISRO has done something that is not routine. I wish that they keep on doing this on a routine basis.

First photu has been taken as per NDTV. But will take time to appear.

it is well within the requirements.the values will be Xmeters whihc is the mean but there will be X standard deviations rangewhich they ahve not mentioned but it is considered very precise.

vina, the bandwidth is huge! it is multiplexing - perhaps TDM.

ps: I may be wrong in the definitions here.. but what I want to point is the data rate is 40kbps, and not the receiving capability of deep space network.

Test Firing of Main Liquid Engine of Mars Orbiter Spacecraft is Successful

Wah Isro PR .. Wah

Eating Laddus ( a regular practice at every success at Isro ) .. should not keep the guys away from their desks for so long.

I’ll be back after breakfast. Good ol’ sunlight. It’s good for your battery.

Lol I am loving this.

Absolutely!

Blessed to have witnessed history in the making. Congratulations!

vina, me no data guru, but you have to calculate the b (bits) as a pulse.. a 1 and a 0 to fit in a cycle in that 2ghz. so you can fit more bits. if you are good in math: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon%E2 ... ey_theorem

Constant velocity doesn't cause any force - high or low does not matter so much a the change in velocity AKA acceleration

F = ma after all.

well done ISRO

I think you have not refreshed your page or it is showing a cached page.
What I see is

Spacecraft Successfully enters Martian Orbit
Burn Start of Main Liquid Engine Confirmed
The radio link between the Spacecraft and Earth is now blocked by Mars.
Eclipse starts - The Spacecraft is in shadow of Mars
Forward rotation starts
Changed Over to Medium Gain Antenna

Pretty quick we are to deride ISRO arent we
Also if you go to ISRO's main page they have a blinking note saying orbital insertion is succesful.
I cannot fathom what is achieved by being sarcastic when a truly great achievement is done .Also I think they are more focused on telemetry, activation of payloads and data capture.

I am happy that BrishitBennCh*ds have not dissapointed me:

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-29307123

Isro dubs the mission a "technology demonstrator", essentially showcasing to the world that India is no longer a country of snake charmers but a high-tech hub that has developed its technology against the odds and stringent sanctions.

Many, however, say this bid to reach Mars is a "delusional dream" of India seeking super-power status since 400 million Indians still live without electricity and 600 million people still do not have access to toilets.

So once they started getting called out as racist drain-inspecting bennch*ds that they are, they change their song and dance and claim an anonymous "Many" have said that it is a "delusional dream". Who are these "Many" who claim this? Can the BennCh*ds answer that? This is worse than our DDM's anonymous source that cannot be named (aka I just pulled it out deep from my Musharraf).
