<p>India today successfully placed its Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) in the Red Planet's orbit.<br /><br />Following is the chronology of events that traces the journey of Mangalyaan which lasted over 300 days:<br /><br />Nov 5, 2013: ISRO's PSLV C25 launches India's Mars Orbiter Mission from Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.Nov 7: First Earth-bound manoeuvre performed.<br />Nov 8: Second Earth-bound manoeuvre performed.<br />Nov 9: Third Earth-bound manoeuvre performed.<br />Nov 11: Fourth Earth-bound manoeuvre performed.<br />Nov 12: Fifth Earth-bound manoeuvre performed.<br />Nov 16: Sixth Earth-bound manoeuvre performed.<br />Dec 1: MOM leaves Earth's orbit, Trans-Mars Injection performed.<br />Dec 4: MOM leaves Earth's Sphere of Influence of 9.25 lakh km radius.<br />Dec 11: First course correction manoeuvre performed on the spacecraft.<br />Jun 11, 2014: Second course correction manoeuvre executed.<br />Sep 22: MOM enters Mars' Gravitational Sphere of Influence; 440 Newton Liquid Apogee Motor test fired after over 300 days of dormancy; last trajectory correction manoeuvre performed.<br />Sep 24: MOM reaches the intended orbit around Mars, making India the first country in the world to have successfully launched its mission to the Red Planet on the very first attempt. </p>
