Indian Mars Mission Beams Back First Photographs

Posted by samzenpus on from the worth-a-thousand-words dept.

astroengine writes India's Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) got straight to work as it closed in on Martian orbit on Tuesday — it began taking photographs of the Red Planet and its atmosphere and surface as it slowed down to reach its ultimate destination. After a two day wait, those first images are slowly trickling onto the Internet.

    Are you talking about most of those false color images on that page? If so, they are actually not from this mission. Most of them (probably all except the first one) are from MRO's HiRISE camera.

    Why the FUCK does that site require JavaScript just to view a few pictures and text? What kind of completely inept web designers do they have working for them?
