Heralding a new era, India on Friday night launched its heaviest commercial space mission ever with its polar rocket successfully putting five British satellites into the intended orbit after a flawless takeoff.
The mission has been extended by another six months due to surplus fuel
The second orbit raising manoeuvre of India's Mars Orbiter spacecraft was performed in the early hours of Friday, three days after its successful launch by PSLV C-25 into orbit around the Earth.
Top space scientist G Madhavan Nair said it may take ten years for the country to put in place such an operational rocket.
A day after India successfully launched the Mars Orbiter in the Red Planet on its first attempt, it tweeted the first image it took and captioned it, 'the view is nice up here'.

A day after suffering a glitch during the fourth orbit raising operation on its Mars Orbiter Mission, the Indian Space Research Organisation on Tuesday successfully completed the supplementary manoeuvre, raising the spacecraft's apogee (farthest distance from Earth) to over 1,18,000 km.
"We started it by 1.17 am and have successfully completed the first orbit raising manoeuvre of Mars Orbiter Spacecraft. Right now, the computation is going on," an ISRO spokesman told PTI.
"Since its injection into Earth's orbit yesterday, it has been functioning smoothly on the orbit. We are planning to perform orbit raising manoeuvres in the early hours of of Thursday," an Indian Space Research Organisation spokesman told PTI over phone.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded the scientists saying, "with this successful launch, we will determine our own paths powered by our technology".
