India made history on September 24, 2014, when it completed Mangalyaan, its first-ever Mars mission. On November 5, 2013, ISRO launched the mission on the PSLV-C25 rocket, which launched the Mars Orbiter on its twenty-fifth voyage into space. The mission has stayed in the planet's orbit beyond its original six-month duration when it was launched from the first launch pad at Satish Dhawan Space Centre SHAR, Sriharikota. In addition to being India's first interplanetary mission, Mangalyaan's trip was significant to the country since it made India the first Asian country to enter Mars' orbit and, more significantly, the first country in the world to do it on its first attempt.
