2. Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) is mars orbiter that was
successfully launched into earth orbit on 5th November
2013 by Indian space research organisation (ISRO). The
MOM probe lifted-off from the First Launch Pad at
Sriharikota near Chennai, using a Polar Satellite
Launch Vehicle (PSLV) rocket C25 at 09:08 UTC (2:38
PM IST) on 5 November 2013. The total project cost
may be up to 454 crore (US$69 million). P.
Kunhikrishnan was the PSLV-XL spacecraft launch
Mission Director. Mylswamy Annadurai is the
Program Director and S.Arunan is the Project Director.
S. K. Shivkumar of ISAC was responsible for the
orbiting payload and also oversaw design and
development of the orbiter.

PSLV was designed and developed at Vikram
Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC),
Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala.
It was developed to allow India to launch its
Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellites into sun
synchronous orbits.
Launch vehicle used is PSLV-XL
PSLV-XL is the updated version of Polar
Satellite Launch Vehicle.
The PSLV has four stages using solid and
liquid propulsion systems alternately.
It has five successful launch in history

Deuterium/Hydrogen

14. 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.

15. 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.
Methane concentration in the Martian atmosphere
undergoes spatial and temporal variations.

16. 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 Chandra’s Altitudinal Composition
Explorer (CHACE) payload. MENCA is a quadrupole
mass spectrometer based scientific payload, capable of
measuring relative abundances of neutral constituents in
the mass range of 1 to 300 amu, with a unit mass
resolution.

17. 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.

18. 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 surface composition and
mineralogy of Mars.

19. We are wait for a grand success.
