On September 24, 2014, India became the first nation to place a spacecraft into Mars' orbit on the very first try. They accomplished this feat on a budget that was less than that for the Hollywood space movie Gravity. Space MOMs is an inspiring dramatization of India's Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), told through the eyes of women engineers who helped make the mission a success. The heroines of Space MOMs are normal middle class working moms who help their kids with their homework, split house chores with their husbands, care for their aging parents--and who also happen to be rocket scientists working on an historic mission.
