Mangalyaan, also known as the Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), was India's first interplanetary mission. It was launched by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) on November 5, 2013, and successfully entered Mars' orbit on September 24, 2014, making India the first nation to succeed on its first attempt. The mission's objectives were to develop the technologies required for designing, planning, management and operations of an interplanetary mission, and to help better understand the Martian surface and atmosphere. Key personnel involved included K. Radhakrishnan, chairman of ISRO, M. Annadurai, programme director of MOM, and S. Ramakrishnan, director

2. What is mangalangal
Mangalyaan is a Space Probe that Orbits
Mars
Mangalyaan is also called Mars Orbiter
Mission is a mission launched by Indian Space
Research Organization (ISRO)
Mangalyaan is the first Interplanetary Mission
successfully launched by India (after 3 nations)
It is a proud fact that India is the First country
to Reach The Orbit of Mars in the First Attempt
The mission of the launch is to develop
Technologies of an interplanetary mission

3. Oblectives of mangalyaan
One of the main objectives of the first
Indian mission to Mars is to develop the
technologies reqired,for
design,planning,management and
operations of an interplanetary mission.
Following are the major objectives of the
mission:
Designing and realisation of a mars
orbiter with a capability to survive and
perform earth bound manoeuvres,

4. Where was mangalyaan launched
Indian missions to Mars.
The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), also called
Mangalyaan ("Mars-craft", from Sanskrit:
mangala, "Mars" and yāna, "craft, vehicle"), is a
space probe orbiting Mars since 24 September
2014. It was launched on 5 November 2013 by
the Indian Space Research Organisation
(ISRO).

5. People Behind (MOM)
It was a team of 14 members who made the
mission a great success. some of them are
1. K Radhakrishnan
2. M Annadura
3. S Ramakrishnan

6. K Radhakrishnan
He is the chairman of Isro and secretary,
department of space. Radhakrishnan also has
an MBA degree from IIM-Bangalore and he also
got a doctorate from IIT-Kharagpur. Besides
being a top space scientist, Radhakrishnan is
an enthusiast of Kerala's classical art form
Kathakali and a keen music lover. He received a
Padma Bhushan in 2014.

7. M Annadurai
He is the programme director of
Mars Orbiter Mission.
Mylswamy Annadurai joined
Isro in 1982 and was the project
director for Chandrayaan I,
Chandrayaan II, ASTROSTAT,
Aditya -I and the Mars Obiter
Mission. Born in Tamil Nadu,

8. S Ramakrishnan
Director of Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre and
Member Launch Authorisation Board. A senior
Isro scientist has more than four decades of
experience in rocketry in the Indian space
programme. Joined Isro in the August of 1972 ,
Ramakrishnan played a key role in the
development of PSLV which carried the
Mangalyaan into the space. The challenge for
him was the launch of the rocket. Ramakrishnan
is a mechanical engineer from the College of
Engineering, Chennai. He received his M.Tech
in Aerospace from IIT-Madras with the first rank.

9. Mangalyaan vs other satellites
MOM is the most cheapest
interplanetry mission with a sum
of about Rs.474crore /44 millon
$
It successedin the first attempt
,any country had ever succeed
in its first attempt

11. Amazing facts on mangalyaan
WWhile ISRO has been researching for a Mars mission
since years, the project was only approved by the
government in August 2012. It took ISRO just a little
over a year to put together the spacecraft and the
project. In August 2013, ISRO announced that a
mission to Mars will soon be launched, and on
November 5th, the PSLV rocket carrying Mangalyaan
left for its 300-day journey to Mars
.Mars is so far away that once MOM sends any data, it
will take around 14 minutes for it to reach ISRO’s
communication panels. Similarly, for any instruction
sent to MOM, it will take 14 minutes for the instruction
to reach the craft!

12. Thanks to nasa Too !!!
American space agency has been incredibly
supportive of our Mars Orbiter Mission. NASA’s
futuristic Deep Space Network (a collection of
huge satellite antennas around the world that
allow for navigation in interplanetary space) has
been crucial to the mission, helping the
Mangalyaan navigate the space where India’s
own Deep Space Network has no reach. Around
the time when MOM was to be launched,
American Government was facing a government
shutdown and despite that, NASA stood by its
word of providing communications and
navigation facilities for the mission
