Mars Orbiter Mission has pressurized its project director, S. Arunan, to an extent that he needs `The Small Bachelor' by P. G. Wodehouse to de-stress himself. He said to have been going through sleepless nights just to ensure everything goes well with India's mission to Mars.

S. Arunan at the Indian Space Research Organisation is not the only one who is feeling the heat of the mission, but there are other 1,000 scientists as well involved in the mission. They all want the prestigious mission to be successful to send a satellite to Mars.

ISRO chairman Dr. K. Radhakrishnan said, "We do not get into dreams, we get into brass tacks. You need nerves of steel to make deep space missions a success".

It will be a long journey, 400 million km to be precise, from Sriharikota to Mars. For India, it will be the longest journey after it travelled to the moon 4 lakh kilometers away. Well this is not something that comes in pocket friendly prices; it will cost India whooping Rs. 450 crore. The satellite is likely to begin orbiting mars in September 2014.

For Radhakrishnan, it is the cheapest interplanetary mission, because other country would have spent five times more.
