India has launched its first rocket into space, with the
aim of reaching Mars.
The unmanned robotic spacecraft is being sent to Mars to carry out experiments.
The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) lifted off at 0908 GMT on Tuesday 5 November from Sriharikota.
If all goes well, the spacecraft is set to travel for 300 days and should reach Mars orbit in September 2014.
