Saritha Rai, a reporter for the New York Times, wrote recently that India had recently launched a spacecraft to Mars. There are many facets that makes the Mangalyaan satellite unique however:
- "...it is the $75 million mission’s thrifty approach to time, money and materials that is getting attention." Saritha writes
Furthur on Sarita write:
- [Recently] NASA sent off its own Mars mission, five years in the making, named Maven. Its cost: $671 million. The budget of India’s Mars mission, by contrast, was just three-quarters of the $100 million that Hollywood spent on last year’s space-based hit, Gravity.”
