Indian media reported on Saturday that the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) launch authorization board has cleared the launch of India’s maiden mission to Mars Mangalyaan on Tuesday November 5 from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh state.

ISRO spokesperson said that the 56 hour countdown for take-off will start early morning on Sunday and ISRO will ignite its giant 45-meter rocket on Tuesday, launching India’s maiden journey to Mars.

The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) rocket and satellite are fully dressed up and ready at India’s space port in Sriharikota.

The two ships SCI Yamuna and Nalanda which were delayed due to bad weather have reached their destination in the Pacific. These ships will monitor the health of the rocket and satellite. The launch of Mangalyaan satellite, which was scheduled for October 28 initially, was postponed due to bad weather in the Pacific Ocean.

The Mangalyaan mission will cost Indian Rs 450 crores and will study the Martian atmosphere.

    • not Chinese , they are north korean missiles , Mr Q.khan ..gave the koreans the tech to fuse atoms and the centrifuge and in return they gave blue prints for missile technology !

  3. I hope that now Pakistan would realise that India's Missile program and space program are not Pakistan centric. Earlier, Pakistan used to test one missile bought from China whenever India test its Agni series missiles. Instead of wasting money by testing chinese missiles, Pakistan should consider true friendship with India and please India in such a way that Indian Government should remove the fencing at the pakistan border.

      If the good mind prevails, there's no reason that can't happen now …
      .
      Public education and open mind are the catalyst …
      Politics, religion (extremism) and vested interests are the impediments …
