Reply to comment by ALifeLongLearner in Designed to last six months, India's Mars Orbiter bids adieu after 8 long years by BitterFuture

Hmm, I read up something that differs. Namaste doesn’t literally translate to Hello, means something different. Source.

Yes, that's what it means. But we always Namaste in place of hello/hey/hi. We use other phrases for goodbye like, see you soon, have a nice day, etc, not Namaste. We can use Namste after saying goodbye as a closing greeting. But it can't be used in place of goodbye.
