| Signal from India's Mars orbiter, as received by G7EYT / MØEYT |
A radio amateur in the United Kingdom has tuned in and decoded signals from India's MOM
spacecraft, which was successfully placed in orbit around Mars on September 24.
The AMSAT News Service reports that Paul Marsh, G7EYT/MØEYT received signals
from the Mars Orbiter Mission and tweeted, "S-band downlink from MOM
spacecraft now on orbit @ Mars! Great signal with Doppler; congrats to ISRO -
good job." (ISRO is the Indian space agency.) Now, that's DX!
