September 24, 2014 - a historic milestone for India's space exploration.
Six years ago this day, @isro's @MarsOrbiter entered the orbit of the red planet, after a six month long journey.
A proud achievement for ISRO - and the entire science & tech community.

"On 24 Sept 2019, MOM completed 5 yrs in orbit around Mars, sending 2TB of imaging data, and had enough propellant to complete another year in orbit.
On 1 July 2020, Mangalyaan was able to capture a photo of the Mars satellite Phobos from 4200 kms away."
