      Mangalyaan<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • The Rs 450 crore Mars Orbiter Mission<\/strong> was launched onboard PSLV-C25<\/strong> on 5th<\/sup> November, 2013, and the MOM spacecraft was successfully inserted into the Martian orbit i<\/strong>n September, 2014 in its first attempt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Mangalyaan was India\u2019s first interplanetary mission.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • The mission made India the first Asian country, and the fourth in the world<\/strong> after Roscosmos<\/strong>, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration)<\/strong>, and the European Space Agency<\/strong>, to get to the planet.<\/strong>\n
          \n
        • China referred to India\u2019s successful Mangalyaan as the \u201cPride of Asia\u201d.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Description:<\/strong>\n
            \n
          • It carried 850 kg of fuel and 5 science payloads including a Mars Color Camera (MCC)<\/strong> which it was using to study the Martian surface and atmosphere<\/strong> since entering orbit successfully.\n
              \n
            • The highly elliptical orbit geometry of MOM enabled MCC to take snapshots of the \u2018Full disc\u2019 of Mars at its farthest point<\/strong> and finer details from the closest point.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • The MCC has produced more than 1000 images<\/strong> and published a Mars Atlas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Other instruments are:<\/strong> Thermal Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (TIS), Methane Sensor for Mars (MSM), Mars Exospheric Neutral Composition Analyser (MENCA) and Lyman Alpha Photometer (LAP).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Objectives:<\/strong>\n
                \n
              • It was aimed at studying the Martian atmosphere<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • To explore Martian surface features, mineralogy, morphology and atmosphere using indigenous scientific instruments.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • A crucial objective of MOM was to develop technologies required in planning, designing, management and operations<\/strong> of an interplanetary mission.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                Mangalyaan-2<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Mars Orbiter Mission 2 (MOM 2), is a proposed second mission to Mars<\/strong> by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Mangalyaan-2 will only be an orbiter mission.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Mars Orbiter Mission-2 will carry four payloads<\/strong> to inspect certain characteristics of the Mars including its atmosphere, environment and the interplanetary dust.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
