The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), unofficially known as Mangalyaan (Sanskrit: Maṅgala 'Mars', Yāna 'Craft, Vehicle'), was a space probe orbiting Mars since 24 September 2014. It was launched on 5 November 2013 by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
The objectives of this mission are primarily technological and include design, realisation and launch of a Mars Orbiter spacecraft capable of operating with sufficient autonomy during the journey phase; Mars orbit insertion / capture and in-orbit phase around Mars.
Nov 5, 2013 · India's Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM)—or Mangalyaan (Hindi for "Mars Craft")—was the country's first mission to the Red Planet. The mission goal was to test key technologies for interplanetary exploration and to use its five science instruments to study the Martian surface and atmosphere from orbit.

Jun 21, 2024 · During its approximately 23 years in orbit around Mars, NASA's Mars Odyssey spacecraft had beamed back more than a million images and about 150 gigabytes of data. That wealth of data has yielded an abundance of significant scientific knowledge about water ice on Mars, the composition and physical properties of the planet's surface, and Mars' two moons. ... Early in Odyssey's mission, the orbiter mapped water signatures in the top 3 feet (1 meter) of the surface using its gamma-ray ...
4 days ago · NASA’s longest-lived Mars robot is about to mark a new milestone on June 30: 100,000 trips around the Red Planet since launching 23 years ago. During that time, the 2001 Mars Odyssey orbiter has been mapping minerals and ice across the Martian surface, identifying landing sites for future missions, and relaying data to Earth from NASA’s ...
