India's Mars Orbiter Mission and China's Lunar Rover

Hey Space Placers!

Here are two great articles on India's Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) and China's lunar rover mission:

and

It is quite an accomplishment for both of these nations to have such missions and let us hope for their success as they will add to our knowledge of the Red Planet and the Moon.

Of course I can hardly wait to see the pictures and science returned from the Moon. Hopefully China will share its data with the world as previous missions to the Moon were difficult to find updates and information on them.
