Mission expected to last 6 months completed 1,000 days: Modi
PM Narendra Modi during 'Mann ki baat' expressed pride over India's maiden interplanetary mission which recently completed 1,000 days in Mars' orbit. Modi said 'Mangalyaan' is still sending back images and scientific data and has worked more than its expected lifespan of six months. The ISRO-made spacecraft marks an important milestone in India's scientific and space journey, he added.
