1 lakh Indians booked for Mars tickets.
About 1 lakh 38 thousand 899 Indians will visit Mangal soon. These people have booked tickets to go to the red planet under the NASA InSight mission of American Space Agency. This mission is to be launched in May 2018. NASA has said that those who give their name will be given online boarding passes.
The names given will be engraved with the help of an electron beam on a silicon chip. The letters written on the chip will be thinner than the thirteenth part of the hair. After this the chip will be sent to Mars. Indians were ahead of the names of the senders for NASA's Mars mission. For this mission, NASA has received 24 lakh 29 thousand 807 applications from around the world. According to NASA, India is at number three in the list of names of people from all over the world on Wednesday.
The first place in the list is America. 6,76,773 people from the United States have sent their names for the Mars mission. After this, 2 lakh 62 thousand 752 people of China have registered for the mission. India is at number three.
Space experts say that it is no surprise to keep America ahead of the list because it is NASA's mission. However, he also believed that staying in third place after China was very important. According to experts, there are two major reasons for staying in India's third position. Since the first India's Mangalyaan mission, there is an enthusiasm and interest in the citizens of the country, the second reason is the growing cooperation between India and America in the space sector.
NASA's Jet Pasteon Laboratory (JPL) told our colleague 'Times of India' that the last date for registration was over the past week and now no new name will be accepted. NASA's mission will land on Mars on November 26, 2018. This is a mission of 720 days, studying the earthquakes on Mars and finding the internal condition of the planet.
