India Set To Launch an unmanned craft to Mars

By -


India is counting down its launch of a space probe to Mars. This will make India become one of the few nations to reach the Red Planet (Mars).


India will launch the unmanned craft on Today (5th, Nov, 2013 from the southeastern island of Sriharikota. The Orbiter is expected to reach Mars in 300 days.

The orbiter will gather data to help determine how weather systems work on Mars. It also will investigate what happened to the water that is believed to have existed on the planet, and it will look for the chemical methane, a key component to life on Earth.

Only the United States, Russia and the European Union have succeeded in reaching Earth's neighbor. More than half the world's attempts to send a probe to orbit Mars have failed, including attempts by Japan and China.

The United States is the only nation to have successfully sent explorers to land on Mars, the most recent being Curiosity.

The U.S. space agency, NASA, says it will help to monitor the Indian orbiter from three deep-space facilities. It also will send its own probe, Maven, to Mars later this month.

NASA says some of the data Maven will collect will complement the research gathered by the Indian craft.

Today, history will be made.

Previously, teenagers from the age of 13 -17 were unable to post status upadtes, videos and images that can be seen by the public, restricted to their friends only. Now their posts can go public, not only to their friends, but friends of their friends. This limitation restricted some adverts from reaching the walls of these teenagers. Facebook still included a notification before these teenager accounts post messages, alerting them that their post will be seen publicly. Facebook has over 1.2 billion users worldwide and are up against competitors like Twitter and Google in online marketing. This move by Facebook i believe is to expand their marketing reach. Now products and services for teenegers under that age range can be reached with adverts through Facebook. This is good news for marketers who want to reach young customers on Facebook. Parents will not welcome this change as kids being able to post and receive public content are now exposed to the vulgarity uncensored content
