Mangalyaan has been named among the best inventions of 2014 by Time
magazine which described it as a technological feat that will allow
India to flex its “interplanetary muscles.”
“Nobody gets Mars right on the first try. The U.S. didn’t, Russia
didn’t, the Europeans didn’t. But on September 24, India did. That’s
when the Mangalyaan ...went into orbit around the Red Planet, a
technological feat no other Asian nation has yet achieved,” Time said
about Mangalyaan, calling it “The Supersmart Spacecraft.”
Mangalyaan is among the 25 ‘Best Inventions of 2014’ listed by Time
magazine that are “making the world better, smarter and—in some cases—a
little more fun.”
Developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation, the Mars spacecraft
cost India just $74 million, less than the budget for the Academy
Award winning science fiction thriller film ‘Gravity.’
