Resumen de India's Mars shot will aid moon robot
With the launch of its Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), India has passed the first test in its bid to orbit the Red Planet. Next up is a ride that history has shown to be nail-biting: only three space agencies have ever reached Mars. As well as testing the Martian atmosphere for methane, a potential sign of life, MOM will provide know-how to aid a planned robotic moon voyage. Counter-intuitively, that mission maybe more exciting, scientifically, than orbiting Mars.
