BANGALORE: As India's Mars mission moved a step closer to home after the dormant main engine on the spacecraft was test-fired flawlessly, Isro looked confident of giving one final nudge on Wednesday to put it in orbit around Mars. If successful, it would see Isro make space history.
In the final lap, the operation is scheduled to be performed at 07:17:32 hrs on Wednesday by firing the LAM along with eight smaller liquid engines for about 24 minutes.
The tricky manoeuvre involves slowing down the spacecraft now moving at benumbing speed to be captured in the Martian orbit, success of which would make India the first country to go to Mars in the maiden attempt.

Imagine that you are in space and you throw an object. The object goes one direction and you the opposite. That principal applies to acceleration or deceleration. Directed energy. Hope this helped.
