India's maiden mission to Mars, the Mangalyaan, is three days from creating history. On the 24th, when ISRO scientists fire off her engines to coax her into Mars' orbit, scientists will be hoping to succeed in the first attempt, something no other country has achieved earlier.
Just so you know, the spacecraft is currently around 225 million km away from Earth. And at 70 million, it cost around 1/10th of other similar spacecrafts from America.
