BENGALURU: Social media is the strongest and best tool for communication. And even ISRO has understood its value. While it had earlier in October 2013 launched an experimental social media campaign on Facebook for ISRO’s Mars Orbiter Mission, it has now extended it further by creating another Facebook page and also has opened a Twitter account.

While the earlier Facebook page on the Mars Orbiter Mission called ISROMOM will continue, the new social media pages (On Facebook and Twitter) can be reached from ISRO web portal or directly through http://www.facebook.com/isroofficial and http://www.twitter.com/isroofficial.

The social media campaign aims at creating general awareness regarding the objectives, mission milestones and the accomplishments of ISRO.
The page (Indian Television Dot Com > Digital Edge > ISRO launches its new Facebook and Twitter accounts was widely acclaimed as it garnered approximately three lakh followers in its two months of existence.
