Very few full disk images have ever been taken in the past, mostly on approach to the planet, as most imaging is done looking straight down in mapping mode. These images will aid planetary scientists. [141] [142] [143] An illustration of the Mars Orbiter Mission spacecraft is featured on the reverse of the ₹2,000 currency note of India. [144]
One of the first images of the surface of Mars taken by the MOM-1 on 25 September 2014. Dust storm on northern hemisphere of Mars as seen from MOM-1 on 28 September 2014. Tharsis and Valles Marineris as captured by MOM-1.
This is a list of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) missions. ISRO has carried out 125 spacecraft missions, 92 launch missions [1] and planned several missions including [2] the Gaganyaan (crewed/robotic) and Interplanetary mission such as Lunar Polar Exploration Mission, Chandrayaan-4, Shukrayaan and Mangalyaan-2 (Mars Lander Mission).
In it, K. Sivan announced that Mangalyaan 2 will only be an orbiter mission. [ 11 ] [ 12 ] Being launched by the LVM3 rocket (formerly the GSLV mk III), and using Aerobraking the MOM-2 satellite can carry more than 7 times the payload for MOM-1, also with a reduction in perigee to about 200 km above the surface of Mars.
After travelling 670 million kilometres, Mangalyaan is now set to study the surface features, morphology, mineralogy and Martian atmosphere to better understand the climate, geology, origin, evolution and sustainability of life on the planet. It is the most cost effective of all the missions sent to the planet by any other country costing India ...
Ever Upwards: ISRO in Images [1] [2] by P. V. Manoranjan Rao, B. N. Suresh and V. P. Balagangadharan — all of them former scientists of the Indian Space Research Organization — is a coffee table book [3] [4] on the history of the Indian Space Research Organisation.
India's first Mars orbiter Mangalyaan was launched from the centre on 5 November 2013, which was successfully placed into Mars orbit on 24 September 2014. Initially under Indian Human Spaceflight Programme existing launch facilities will be augmented to meet the target of launching a crewed spacecraft called Gaganyaan .
