The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), also
calledMangalyaan "Mars-craft" is a spacecraft
orbiting MARS since 24 September 2014. It was
launched on 5 November 2013 by the INDIAN
SPACE RESEARCH ORGANIZATION (ISRO).
The mission is a “Technology Demonstrator " project
to develop the technologies for design, planning,
management, and operations of an interplanetary
mission. It carries five instruments that will help
advance knowledge about Mars to achieve its
secondary, scientific, objective.

5. HOW DID IT LAUNCH?
The Mars Orbiter Mission probe lifted-off from the First
Launch Pad at Satish Dhawan Space
Center (Sriharikota Range SHAR), Andra Pradesh, using
a POLAR SATELLITE LAUNCH VEHICLE (PSLV) rocket
C25 at 09:08 UTC (14:38 IST) on 5 November
2013. The Launch window was approximately 20 days
long and started on 28 October 2013.
The MOM probe spent about a month in geocentric, Low
Earth Orbit, where it made a series of seven altitude-raising
orbital manoeuvres before trans - mars
injection on 30 November 2013 (UTC). After a 298-day
transit to Mars, it was successfully inserted into Mars
orbit on 24 September 2014.

10. HISTORY OF THE ‘MOM’
{MARS ORBITER MISSION}
The MOM mission concept began with a feasibility
study in 2010, after the launch of lunar
satellite Chandrayaan-1 in 2008. The government
of India approved the project on 3 August
2012, after the Indian Space Research
Organization completed 125 crore of required
studies for the orbiter. The total project cost may
be up to 454 crore . The satellite
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.
