India's new Mars satellite

Mangalyaan has already been chatting to NASA's Mars Rover on the surface

India’s ground-breaking Mars satellite might have been orbiting the Red Planet for less than a day
The @MarsOrbiter feed was launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Wednesday to provide updates on the mission.
“India's first mission to Mars. Orbiting the Red Planet since Sep 24, 2014. Explorer. Loves science, photography and long cruises.”
The successful launch took the country into the elite club of nations to conduct deep-space exploration and was hailed as a “historic occasion” by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“We have gone beyond the boundaries of human enterprise and innovation,” he added in a live broadcast from ISRO’s headquarters.
