India successfully launches Mars orbiter, hopes to become a space superpower

Early on the morning of November 5, India's Space Research Organisation (ISRO) became only the sixth agency to launch a spacecraft that's headed for Mars. The odds are stacked against the ISRO: Only one space agency, Europe's ESA, successfully made it to Mars on the first attempt. India hopes that its Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) will help it send a rover to the Moon in the next few years.
