India's mars orbiter mission :

                            Mars Orbiter still going strong

   India's Mars Orbiter Mission marks the country's first mission to the Red Planet and first entry into interplanetary spaceflight.

                                   

Mars Orbiter Mission, or MOM, will map the surface of the Red Planet and test technologies needed for future Indian space missions.

                 Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) teams will meet later in March to take stock of its status and plan the next steps that have come as a bonus

The Mars Orbiter will complete half a year around the Red Planet on Tuesday and is going strong.

The orbiter has been designed for six months of work. A few more months of wait is needed to know what it has seen and sensed on Mars since September 24 last year. The feat of accomplishing its mission life deserves applause, as was noted in Parliament on Wednesday.
