India's MOM and USA's MAVEN entered Mars's orbit. This has been the first time for 2 nations to try similar venture in few days span. Interestingly, MOM is highly efficient compared to MAVEN. The cost it too to develop MOM is almost 5 times less than that of MAVEN. This is a great victory for India as the nations which will concentrate on Mars will opt for India compared to USA.
Recently, ISRO bagged the deals of various Asian and African countries by sending satellites into the space at less cost. Now, the same is being observed in case of Mars mission. Compared to USA, countries in the world will tie-up with India to do research on Mars.
Scientists are saying that MOM and MAVEN are equally efficient in case of data gathering. Scientists from USA further stated that they would like to work with India in this Mars mission. It is a noted fact that one third of the scientists in NASA are from Indian origin!
