This document provides information about India's Mars Orbiter Mission (Mangalyaan). It discusses the objectives and importance of the mission, its successful orbital insertion around Mars, the instruments it carries to study the Martian atmosphere and surface, and concludes that the mission represents an important technological achievement for India, making it the first nation to successfully reach Mars on its first attempt.

3. We would like to express my special thanks of gratitude
to my teacher MR. AMIT GUPTA as well as our
principal gave us the golden opportunity to do this
wonderful project on the topic MANGALYAAN which
also helped me in doing a lot of Research and we
came to know about so many new things We are really
thankful to them.
Secondly We would also like to thank our parents and
friends who helped us a lot in finalizing this project
within the limited time frame.

15. STATUS
Theorbit insertion put MOM in a highly elliptical orbit around Mars, with a period
of 72 hours 51 minutes 51 seconds and a periapsis of 421.7 km (262.0mi) and
apoapsis of 76,993.6 km (47,841.6 mi).[7] Commissioning and checkoutoperations
are planned overthe coming weeks to prepareMOM's instruments for science
operations.[1][88] At the end of the orbit insertion, MOMwas left with 40 kg of fuel
as against the 20 kg that was thought necessaryfor the six-month life span.[89]On
28 September2014, Mars Orbiter Mission published its first global view of Mars.
Theimage was captured by the Mars Colour Camera (MCC).[90]On 19 October
2014, the ISROreported that the Mars Orbiter Mission is healthy after the Comet
Siding Spring flyby of Mars earlierthat day.[91]

16. 5 THINGS WE ALL SHOULD KNOW
ABOUT MANGALYAAN
1) Two weeks before Mangalyaan was lauched, NASA sent off
its own Mars mission named Maven. Its cost: Over Rs 4,000
crore. India's mars mission, meanwhile, is worth just a
fraction of that -- Rs 450 crore -- and was executed in just 15
months after the government approved it in August 2012.
2) India’s Mars mission represents a technological leap for the
South Asian nation, pushing it ahead of space rivals China
and Japan in the field of interplanetary exploration.
3) India now has the distinction of becoming the only country
to reach the orbit of Mars in its first attempt. More than
half the missions to Mars have failed, either crashing or going
off course. China’s Mars mission of 2011 was among the
failures.

17. 4) Mangalyaan will look for methane on Mars' surface. A sensor
attached to the spacecraft will look for the gas on Mars. If found,
it will confirm that life existed on Mars in the past. Besides, the
spaceship will also carry another instrument called Lyman Alpha
Photometer to study the components on the planet's atmosphere.
Two more instruments will measure the surface components that
make up Mars' land mass while a Mars Colour Camera will take
images of the planet too.
5)Mars Orbiter will target an operational orbit of 365.3 by 80,000
Kilometers with an inclination of 150 degrees and a duration of
76.72 hours from where it will perform its science mission. The
MOM mission in Mars orbit is open-ended and is expected to last
about 160 days.

18. WHAT OUR CONCLUSION SAYS…
680MILLION KILOMETERS:
A BIG LEAP FOR THE NATION . CONGRATULATIONS INDIA !!!!!
WITH THIS SUCCESS INDIA BECAME FOURTH NATION TO SUCESSFULLY EMBARK
UPON ITS MAIDEN MARS MISSION [M.O.M] .PRACTICALLY IF WE SEE THAN THIS
SUCCESS IS THE FIRST EVEN THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP TOWARDS FORMING A
DEVELOPED NATION .IN REALITY WITH MANGALYAAN WE ALSO RISE WITH THE
GREAT SUCCES OF I.S.R.O. OUR IMAGE NOT ONLY BOOST UP IN FRONT OF OTHER
DEVELOPED NATION BUT ALSO GAVE US THAT HOPE TO STEP ONE DAY IN FULLY
DEVELOPED INDIA !!!!
