ISRO releases first picture of Mars

  • 5 years ago
They are here! Mangalyaan's first offering to India is out in the open.

Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) released on Thursday the first image of Mars clicked by the indigenous Mangalyaan, which took India to soaring heights a day ago by slipping into the Red Planet's orbit on the country's maiden attempt.

Isro said the photograph it posted on its Facebook page and Twitter account was taken from "a height of 7300 km; with 376 m spatial resolution".

And more will come. Isro chief K Radhakrishnan is in Delhi — with hard copies of all the snaps clicked by Mangalyaan — to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

All the photographs will be released after their meeting in the afternoon.
