Mars Orbiter Mission Overview

The document summarizes the Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), also called Mangalyaan, launched by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) in November 2013. The Mars orbiter successfully entered Mars' orbit in September 2014 and includes five scientific instruments to study the Martian atmosphere and surface. Key details include the use of the PSLV rocket to launch the spacecraft, the 15 kg scientific payload, navigation support provided by ISRO and NASA, and the low total mission cost of approximately ₹450 crore.

THE MANGALYAAN
The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), also
called Mangalyaan is a spacecraft orbiting
Mars since 24 September 2014.
It was launched on 5 November 2013 by
ISRO.
The MOM probe lifted-off from First
Launch Pad at Satish Dhawan Space
Centre, A.P, using PSLV rocket C25 at
09:08 UTC(14:38 IST).
The launch window was 20 days (approx.)
long and started on 28 October 2013.

TRAJECTORY

MARS ORBIT MATCH

PSLV(POLAR SATELLITE LAUNCH VEHICLE)


The Polar Satellite
Launch Vehicle
commonly known by its
abbreviation PSLV, is an
expendable launch system
developed and operated by
the Indian Space Research
Organization (ISRO). It was
developed to allow India to
launch its Indian Remote
Sensing (IRS) satellites into
sun synchronous orbits

CONSTRUCTION

EXPLODED VIEW

PAYLOAD
The 15 kg (33 lb)
scientific payload consists
of five instruments:
Atmospheric studies
Lyman-Alpha Photometer
(LAP) Measuring the
deuterium/hydrogen ratio
will allow to estimate the
process of water loss to
outer space.
Methane Sensor For Mars
(MSM) to check for
methane in the
atmosphere of Mars, if
any, and map its sources.

Mars Exospheric Neutral


Composition Analyzer (MENCA)
is a quadrupole mass analyzer
capable of analyzing the neutral
composition of particles in the
exosphere.
Surface imaging studies Thermal
Infrared Imaging Spectrometer
(TIS) will measure the
temperature and emissivity of the
Martian surface, this can allow
mapping surface composition and
mineralogy of Mars.
Mars Colour Camera (MCC) will
provide images in the visual
spectrum, providing context
information for the other science
instruments

MARS ORBITOR

TRACKING
The Indian Deep Space Network
will perform navigation and
tracking operations of this mission,
and NASA's Deep Space Network
will provide support services
during the non-visible period of the
Indian Deep Space Network. The
signals from the orbiter take as
much as 20 min to reach earth
Also some of the ships positioned
in south pacific ocean will also
track and coordinate the
spacecraft

MISSION COST
The total cost of the mission was
approximately 450, making it the
least-expensive Mars mission to
date.
The ISRO completed 125 crore of
required studies of the orbiter.
The satellites costs 153 crore and
the rest of the budget has been
attributed to ground stations and
relay upgrades that will be used for
other ISRO projects.
