Curiosity Rover (@MarsCuriosity) welcomed it with a "Namaste".
"Namaste, @MarsOrbiter! Congratulations to @Isro and India's first interplanetary mission upon achieving Mars orbit," it tweeted.
Howdy @MarsCuriosity ? Keep in touch. I'll be around.

The first tweet by Isro's Mars Orbiter was in the early hours of Wednesday, soon after entering Mars Orbit, saying, "What is red, is a planet and is the focus of my orbit?"

It certainly appears as if the Isro 'Mangalyaan' Mars Orbiter Mission has a crack team to handle its Twitter account, and so far, has gained more than 51,000 followers despite just the 3 above tweets. Its profile description is also quite witty, reading, "India's first mission to Mars. Orbiting the Red Planet since Sep 24, 2014. Explorer. Loves science, photography and long cruises."
