When the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched the Mars Orbiter Mission in November 2013, it was a landmark event in space exploration research. not ony was it India's first interplanetary mission, but we also managed to succeed in the first attempt, a laudable feat in itself. On top of that, ISRO completed the mission on a fraction of the budget of NASA's similar attempt around the same time; around US$ 74 million, as compared to NASA's US $671 million. So hereare the fruits of ISRO's labour, some of the best images beamed back from their Mars Orbiter.
