No course correction may cripple Mangalyaan: ISRO
A timely course correction needs to be initiated otherwise a long duration eclipse in January 2017 could cripple the Mangalyaan mission, ISRO Chairman AS Kiran Kumar said on Wednesday. Although the mission was meant to last six months, it is about to complete two years, and there is enough fuel for the payloads to last many more years, he added.
