INTRODUCTION
 The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), also called
Mangalyaan "Mars-craft" is a Mars orbiter
launched into Earth orbit on 5 November 2013 by
the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
 It was successfully inserted into orbit of Mars on 24
September 2014, making India the first country in
the world to successfully send a spacecraft to Mars
on its very first attempt.
 The Mars Orbiter Mission
probe lifted-off from the First
Launch Pad at Satish
Dhawan Space Centre
(SHAR), Sriharikota,
Andhra Pradesh, using a
Polar Satellite Launch
Vehicl (PSLV) rocket C25 at
14:38 IST on 5 November
2013.
 The MOM probe spent about
a month in Earth orbit, where
it made a series of seven
altitude-raising orbital
manoeuvres before trans-
Mars injection on 30
November 2013.
FEATURES
 It is India's first interplanetary mission.
 ISRO has become the fourth space agency to reach
Mars, after the Soviet space program, NASA, and the
European Space Agency.
 Cost $73 Million (Rs.450 crores).
 Weight 1.35 tonnes.
 Self Diagnostic System that keeps Space Craft
Healthy .
OBJECTIVES
 The primary objective is to develop the technologies
required for design, planning, management and
operations of an interplanetary mission, comprising
the following major tasks:
 deep-space communication, navigation, mission,
planning and management;
 Incorporate autonomous features to handle
contingency situations.
 The secondary objective is to explore Mars' surface
features, morphology, mineralogy and Martian
atmosphere using indigenous scientific instruments.
 ABOUT THE LAUNCH
VEHICLE
 The Polar Satellite
Launch Vehicle, usually
known by its
abbreviation PSLV is the
first operational launch
vehicle of ISRO.
 The reliability rate of
PSLV has been superb.
SPACE CRAFT
Mass
The lift-off mass was 1,350 kg, including 852 kg of propellant.
Dimensions
Cuboid in shape of approximately 1.5
Power
Electric power is generated by three solar array panels of 1.8 m ×
1.4 m each, for a maximum of 840 W generation in Martian orbit.
Electricity is stored in a 36 Ah Li-ion battery.
Propulsion
Liquid fuel engine of 440 N thrust is used for orbit raising and
insertion in Martian orbit. The orbiter also has eight 22 N
thrusters for attitude control or orientation.
 Cont…
Communications
The antenna array consists of a low-gain antenna, a medium-gain
antenna and a high-gain antenna. The High-gain antenna system
is used to transmit and receive the telemetry, tracking,
commanding and data to and from the Indian Deep Space
Network.

PAYLOAD
 The 15 kg scientific payload consists of five
instruments:
 Lyman-Alpha Photometer (LAP)

Study of Escape processes of Martian upper atmosphere

through Deuterium/Hydrogen
 Methane Sensor For Mars (MSM) Detection

of Methane presence
TELEMETRY AND COMMAND
 The Indian Space Research Organisation Telemetry,
Tracking and Command Network performed navigation
and tracking operations for the launch with ground stations
at Sriharikota, Port
Blair, Brunei and Biak in Indonesia, and after the
spacecraft's apogee became more than 100,000 km, two
large 18-metre and 32-metre diameter antennas of the
Indian Deep Space Network was utilised.
 NASA's Deep Space Network is providing position
data during the non-visible period of ISRO's network.
 The South African National Space Agency's ground
station is also providing satellite tracking, telemetry and
command services.[
The mission consist of the following three phases
1. Geo Centric Phase

2.Helio Centric Phase

3.Martian Phase
EVENTS OCCURRED
 ISRO's PSLV-XL placed the satellite in Earth orbit at 03:20
IST, on 5 November 2013.
 On 01 December 2013 at 00:49 IST, a 23-minute
engine firing initiated the transfer of MOM away from
Earth orbit and on heliocentric trajectory toward Mars.
 The plan was for insertion into Mars orbit on 24
September 2014, approximately 2 days after the arrival
of NASA's MAVEN orbiter.
ON 24 SEPTEMBER 2014, THE
SPACECRAFT
