Indian Space Program
Or the Mars Orbital Mission (MOM)
Earth Observation (IRS, INSAT, IRNSS)
AIM - The mission is a "technology demonstrator" project
aiming to develop the technologies required for design,
planning, management and operations of an
interplanetary mission.
History
The MOM mission began with a feasibility study in 2010,
after the successful launch of lunar satellite
Chandrayaan-1 in 2008.The government of India
approved the project on 3 August 2012, after the Indian
Space Research Organisation completed INR125 crore
(US$19 million) of required studies for the orbiter. The total
project cost may be up to INR454 crore (US$69 million).

It takes about 5 to 20 minutes for a signal to travel between Earth and Mars,
depending on where the planets are in their orbits.
