Indias Mars Mission On dot in First At tempt and Cheapestin the World

On 24thSeptember, 2014, India created history as it became the first country to successfully

send a spacecraft into Mars orbit on its very first attempt. The mission was executed by Indian

Space Research Organisation(popularly known as ISRO) and was declared successful after the

first signal of Mars Orbiter Mission (MoM) success was confirmed from NASAs ground station

in Canberra, Australia.

MOM is Indias first interplanetary mission. It comprised of a 1350-kilogram unmanned robotic

satellite that has also been unofficially called Mangalyaan or Marscraft. from Earth.

Now ISRO has become the fourth space agency in the world to reach Mars. The other threeagencies are:-

a) European Space Agency (ESA) of the European consortium

b) National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the U.S.

c) Roscosmos of Russia

India also became the first Asian country to successfully execute a Mars mission

HowTheMissionWasExecuted:

The mission started its journey to the red planet Mars on 5th November 2013 through a

launch from the First Launch Pad at Satish Dhawan Space Centre SHAR, Sriharikota, in

Andhra Pradesh. The launch was done through ISROs reliable Polar Satellite Launch

Vehicle (PSLV) C25 rocket.

The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, PSLV-C25, injected the Spacecraft into an

Elliptical Parking Orbit with a perigee of 250 km and an apogee of 23,550

km.

Further, six orbit raising manoeuvers gradually raised the apogee of the

spacecraft to 1,92,874 km, using the 440 N Liquid Engine on board.


The last manoeuver, termed as Trans Mars Injection (TMI), moved the

spacecraft in the Mars Transfer Trajectory (MTT). Spacecraft crosses Earths

Sphere of Influence (SOI) and enters heliocentric elliptic cruise phase.

Trans Mars Injection (TMI) was carried out on Dec 01, 2013 which


12/51

moved the spacecraft in the Mars Transfer Trajectory (MTT).With TMI

the Earth orbiting phase of the spacecraft ended started its course to

encounter Mars after a journey of about 10 months around the Sun

Finally, MOM reached Mars orbit on 24 September 2014. The orbiters propulsion

system, called the Liquid Apogee Motor (LAM), erupted into life. . With this the orbitentered into most crucial manoeuvre called Mars Orbit Insertion (MOI). This meant forlowering the spacecraft into the Martian orbit, with a peri-apsis of 423 km and an apo-apsis of 80,000 km. The manoeuvre was successful.

Worlds Cheapest-ever mission to Mars

The most important feature of the Indian Mars Mission was the low cost which which the whole

successful mission was executed. This satellite and the entire Mars Orbiter mission have been

made ready at a record cost of Rs. 450 crore or nearly $67 million dollars. It was assembled bythe ISRO in about merely15 months. This is undoubtedly the lowest-cost inter-planetary

mission ever to be undertaken in the world. The darling of Martian dreamers American rover

Curiosity which landed on Mars only two days earlier costed almost 10 times of the cost of

Indian mission. Mr Modi has compared this with a Hollywood movie Gravity, which cost even

more than Indias mission to Mars.

Objectives of the Mission :

One of the main objectives of the first Indian mission to Mars is to develop thetechnologies required for design, planning, management and operations of aninterplanetary mission.

Following are the major objectives of the mission:

A. Technological Objectives:

Design and realisation of a Mars orbiter with a capability to survive and

perform Earth bound manoeuvres, cruise phase of 300 days, Mars orbit

insertion / capture, and on-orbit phase around Mars.

Deep space communication, navigation, mission planning and management. Incorporate autonomous features to handle contingency situations.

B. Scientific Objectives:


Exploration of Mars surface features, morphology, mineralogy and Martian

atmosphere by indigenous scientific instruments.

PayloadscarriedbyMarsOrbiterMission(MoM)

Mars Orbiter Mission carries five scientific payloads to observe Martian

surface, atmosphere and exosphere extending up to 80,000 km for a detailedunderstanding of the evolution of that planet, especially the related geologicand the possible biogenic processes on that interesting planet. Thesepayloads consist of a camera, two spectrometers, a radiometer and aphotometer. Together, they have a weight of about 15 kg.

Deuterium/Hydrogen

Lyman Alpha Photometer (LAP)

Lyman Alpha Photometer (LAP) is an absorption cell photometer. It measures

the relative abundance of deuterium and hydrogen from lyman-alpha

emission in the Martian upper atmosphere (typically Exosphere and

exobase). Measurement of D/H (Deuterium to Hydrogen abundance Ratio)

allows us to understand especially the loss process of water from the planet.


Methane Sensor for Mars (MSM)

MSM is designed to measure Methane (CH4) in the Martian atmosphere with

PPB accuracy and map its sources. Data is acquired only over illuminated

scene as the sensor measures reflected solar radiation. Methaneconcentration in the Martian atmosphere undergoes spatial and temporal

variations.


15/51

Mars Exospheric Neutral Composition Analyser (MENCA)

MENCA is a quadruple mass spectrometer capable of analyzing the neutral

composition in the range of 1 to 300 amu with unit mass resolution. The

heritage of this payload is from Chandras Altitudinal Composition

Explorer (CHACE) payload. MENCA is a quadrupole mass spectrometer basedscientific payload, capable of measuring relative abundances of neutral

constituents in the mass range of 1 to 300 amu, with a unit mass resolution.


Mars Color Camera (MCC)

This tri-color Mars color camera gives images & information about the surface

features and composition of Martian surface. They are useful to monitor the

dynamic events and weather of Mars. MCC will also be used for probing the

two satellites of Mars-Phobos & Deimos. It also provides the context

information for other science payloads.


16/51

Thermal Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (TIS)

TIS measure the thermal emission and can be operated during both day and

night. Temperature and emissivity are the two basic physical parameters

estimated from thermal emission measurement. Many minerals and soil

types have characteristic spectra in TIR region. TIS can map surfacecomposition and mineralogy of Mars.
