In physics, escape velocity is the minimum speed needed for a free, non-propelled object to escape from the gravitational influence of a massive body. The escape velocity from Earth is about 11.186 km/s (6.951 mi/s; 40,270 km/h; 36,700 ft/s; 25,020 mph; 21,744 km) at the surface.

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited is a state-owned telecommunications service provider and a wholly-owned subsidiary of BSNL headquartered in New Delhi, India. MTNL Provides services in the metro cities of Mumbai and New Delhi in India and in the island nation of Mauritius in Africa.

In recent years, India is earning large foreign exchange through the export of information technology. The information technology in India is comprised of two-component, viz., Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and IT services. The sector has increased its contribution to India's GDP from 1.2% in 1988 to 7.7% in 2017.

A.  MOM (mars orbiter mission)

The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), is a space probe orbiting Mars since 24 September 2014. It was launched on 5 November 2013 by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It is India's first interplanetary mission and ISRO has become the fourth space agency to reach Mars, after the Soviet space program, NASA, and the European Space Agency. It is the first Asian nation to reach Mars orbit, and the first nation in the world to do so in its first attempt.
