The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), informally called Mangalyaan, was India's first interplanetary mission, launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on November 5, 2013. It was designed to orbit Mars and study its surface features, morphology, and atmosphere, making India the fourth space agency to reach Mars after Roscosmos, NASA, and the European Space Agency.
The Mars Orbiter Mission achieved multiple scientific objectives:
Mapping Mars' Surface: MOM aimed to study Mars' surface features and morphology, including its craters, valleys, and volcanoes.
Atmospheric Studies: The mission also studied the Martian atmosphere, specifically focusing on the presence of methane, which could indicate life processes.
Technological Demonstration: MOM was also a technology demonstrator, showcasing India's growing capabilities in space exploration.
