An Indian orbiter reached Mars five years ago, and it’s still ticking
From Ars Technica:
"Without fanfare, an Indian spacecraft just completed its fifth year in orbit around Mars last week. As the spacecraft nears the end of its design lifetime, this is a moment that seems worth a little more recognition."

It is great to see others from the traditional space explorers doing so well!
