help 2)It is a brief case size probe 3)Either bcos of insufficient fuel for braking or other control problem, it went into a highly elliptical orbit;it means its mars observation is infrequent come and go. No matter, the hindus are very proud of that and thus they claim they're more advanced than chinese in space tech. Now some thing that push further their pride: It took a muzzy pic of the martian satellite Phobos. According to the article below, the camera or scope 'on board' the probe has a spatial resolution of 210m to 4200km or 1:20000. That means its camera has an aperture of only about 12 mm. I suspect even this inept toy was imported, haha. But however it sure makes the hindus proud.
