ISRO Repositioned the Mars Orbiter Mangalyaan to Save it from Comet Siding Spring 

ISRO Indian Space Research Organization has repositioned its Mars Orbiter Mangalyaan on 16th October 2014 as a precautionary step against the expected Comet Siding spring that would fly by Mars on the Red planet.

It placed the satellite from the very farthest position of the tail of the comet so that it would not effect the satellite.Along with the Indian Space agency other country space agencies also replaced their satellites from farther position from the comet effect.

S space agency NASA has said that the Comet Siding Spring, C/2013 A1 has travelled many billions of miles and would come within about 87000 miles of Mars on 19 October 2014. The comet comes from the Oort cloud, material left over from the formation of the solar system.
