Mangalyaan was India’s maiden mission to Mars. Nine years ago today, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) took a massive chance and made a huge leap. They launched the Mars Orbiter Mission, or 'Mangalyaan', a space probe designed to gather information on the Red Planet. It also made ISRO the first space organisation to achieve the feat in its first attempt.

ISRO launched the Mars Orbiter on November 5, 2013 which placed itself into orbit around the red planet by September 24, 2014. Though the satellite was only designed for a six-month-long mission, it’s continued to beam back data to the Indian space agency for four years. The satellite tweeted out the celebration, including a picture of Mars’ Olympus Mons.
