But needs some more details and international collaboration for finalising the mission,” a senior ISRO official told PTI. The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM-2) or Mangalyaan-2 is still in the early phases and not yet on ISRO’s approved list, PTI reported. In March this year, scientists used the Mars Orbiter craft to study the solar corona when the Earth and Mars were on opposite sides of the Sun.Īn important conclusion that Mangalyaan shed light on was that dust storms on the Martian can rise up to hundreds of kilometres, former ISRO chairman A S Kiran Kumar told PTI in 2019.

“The MOM is the only Martian artificial satellite that could image the full disc of Mars in one view frame and also image the far side of Deimos,” the ISRO was quoted as saying by PTI. Mangalyaan’s highly elliptical orbit geometry enabled the Mars Colour Camera to capture images of the ‘full disc’ of the Red Planet. Recognising the feat achieved by Mangalyaan, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson called the mission ‘Pride of Asia’ after the spacecraft reached Mars’ orbit in 2014. With Mangalyaan, India became the first Asian nation to successfully reach Mars’ orbit and the first country in the world to do so in its maiden attempt. The Mars orbiter was also equipped with an instrument to measure methane in the atmosphere of the Red Planet. The payload carried by MOM included Mars Color Camera (MCC), Thermal Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (TIS), Methane Sensor for Mars (MSM), Mars Exospheric Neutral Composition Analyser (MENCA) and Lyman Alpha Photometer (LAP). Compare that with the complexity in the payload in Maven and that will explain a lot about the cost.” She made a multi-million dollar contribution to the X PRIZE foundation on May 5, 2004.National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Maven Orbiter cost $582.5 million, 10 times more than Mangalyaan.Ĭommenting on how India has managed to keep the costs under control for the mission, Britain’s Professor Andrew Coates, who became the principal investigator on Europe’s Mars rover in 2018, told BBC, “They’ve kept it small.
