An air of expectancy combined with anxiety pervaded the Centre as space scientists carrying their Mars dream awaited the outcome of the final operation that began at 4.17 AM and greeted with applause each successful step. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, present to witness the Space history in the making by India, himself appeared savouring the thrilling moments. The first sign of success of India's Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) emerged when the main engine (Liquid Apogee Motor) and thrusters on the spacecraft sprang to life after being dormant for 300 days since the odyssey began. As MOM remained in the shadow of Mars when the spacecraft went behind the red planet, there was blackout with no signals from Mangalyaan to Earth. Minutes later, a beaming and com - posed ISRO Chairman K Radhakrishnan walked upto the Prime Minister to inform about the success of the mission. An overjoyed Modi hugged the ISRO chief and patted on his back for the success before he announced the historic achievement of India. "Today MOM has met Mangal. Today Mangal has got MOM," said Modi announcing the mission's success after he went upto the rostrum clapping vigorously. Scientists at ISRO's Mission Operations Complex (MOX)-2 broke into joy with a thundering applause as they received confirmation about Mars Orbiter Spacecraft successfully entering the Martian Orbit. Senior and junior scientists greet - ed and cheered one another on the accomplishment. Things were not too different either at the Mission Operations Complex (MOX)-1, where arrangements were made for the huge media contingent gathered from different parts of the country to cover the event. Scientists at the Mission Analysis Centre at MOX-1 applauded and congratulated one another on the success of the Mars Mission and even posed for the media with victory sign and loud cheers. 7 JAMMU | THURSDAY | SEPTEMBER 25 | 2014 Golden YuG Saina, Sindhu sail into second round Indian duo at Weakened field gives Indians more chance top spot after INCHEON: Sania Mirza which is scheduled to have men’s doubles, Yuki and will be eyeing a medal or the doubles finals on Divij Sharan have been of Asian games badminton two races in two from her fourth Asian Monday and the singles seeded fourth while Games and Yuki Bhambri finals on Tuesday.
