On board India's Mars orbiter mission is a very special camera, the size of a shoe box, called 'Mars Colour Camera' which will take photos for the Mangalyaan, recording its long journey. Ashutosh Arya, the ISRO scientist who designed this special camera, tells NDTV's Science Editor Pallava Bagla that he hopes Indian tax payers will get their money's worth when they see the first photos of the Red Planet taken by any Indian satellite.
