The first mission, which is also known as Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) was launched in 2013 which carried Mars Orbiter Mission orbiter. The original mission was expected to operate for 6 months, but it lived well past its expected lifetime and lost its contact with the earth in 2022, lasting for over seven years.
The initial descent was considered within mission parameters, passing critical braking procedures as planned. The descent and soft-landing was to be done by the onboard computers on Vikram, with mission control unable to make corrections. [27] The lander's trajectory began to deviate at about 2.1 kilometers (1.3 mi; 6,900 ft) above the surface ...

Initially, the InSight mission, the first to study the interior of Mars, was supposed to last about two years after it landed in November 2018. But NASA extended the mission for another two years.
Pragyan rover on the ramp of Vikram lander of Chandrayaan-2 mission. The Rover named Pragyan carried two scientific payloads that were to be used in determining the elemental composition and its abundance near the landing site. [64] It was designed to travel at a speed of 1 cm/s (0.39 in/s) and could drive up to 500 m (1,600 ft) in its lifetime.
