K.SATHEESH SAT WEBSITE WISH'S FROM ISRO MANGALYAAN TEAM WORK.INDIA FIRST TIME OUTER SPACE  MARS MISSION MANGALYAAN SATELLITE AT .VERY LOW COST 485 CROWS.WORLD'S FIRST TIME SUCCESSFULY LUNCH OUTER CIRCLE LINE SET FOR MARS MOON. 
                                         

ISRO's Mars Orbiter Insertion is a resounding success, making India the first country to be successful on its maiden Mars mission. Nicknamed 'Mangalyaan', the success of the Mars Orbiter Mission will boost India's five-decade-old space programme. Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated ISRO's scientists and addressed the country on the historic occasion.
The Mars Orbiter Mission is India's first interplanetary mission. It was launched on November 5, 2013 from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh with the powerful Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) The mission was approved by the Indian government in August 2012 and was executed in 15 months at a cost of Rs. 450 crore ($74 million).
Today's mission was to manoeuvre the spacecraft and slow its speed using the 440 Newton Liquid Apogee Motor engine aboard the spacecraft to help it enter Mars' orbit. The engine had been idle for almost 300 days and was fired up today for 24 minutes to reduce its speed from 22.1 km per second to 4.4 km per second .The challenge lay in getting the probe's trajectory right and slowing it down so it can be captured by Mars' orbit.
Starting the liquid engine was crucial in controlling the velocity of the craft as it enters Mars' orbit. If this attempt had not worked, ISRO would have made another attempt using eight fuel powered thrusters.
ISRO lauded for its success
President Mukherjee congratulated Dr K Radhakrishnan, the chairman of ISRO, saying, “I extend my hearty congratulations and best wishes to you and your team on the successful orbit insertion manouvre of the Mars Orbiter Mission 'Mangalyaan' after a journey of nearly nine months.” Former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan called Mangalyaan’s success a moment of immense national pride. Several other politicians expressed congratulated ISRO.
Several members of the scientific community shared their joy over Mangalyaan’s success and congratulated ISRO. The well wishers included US space agency National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the European Space Agency and Former ISRO Chairman G Madhavan Nair. 
Bollywood celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Lata Mangeshkar and Sridevi also hailed ISRO for the successful placing of the Mangalyaan.
