6. Design and realization of a Mars orbiter with a capability to
survive and perform Earth bound manoeuveres, 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.
Exploration of Mars surface features, morphology, mineralogy
and Martian atmosphere by indigenous scientific instruments.
7. OBJECTIVES—CONTINUED…..
•DESIGN AND REALISATION OF A MARS ORBITER WITH A CAPABILITY TO PERFORM
EARTH BOUND MANEUVERS, CRUISE PHASE OF 300 DAYS, MARS ORBIT INSERTION
/ CAPTURE, AND ON-ORBIT PHASE AROUND MARS.
•DEEP SPACE COMMUNICATION, NAVIGATION, MISSION PLANNING AND
MANAGEMENT.
• THE SECONDARY OBJECTIVES ARE SCIENTIFIC, AND INCLUDE THE STUDY OF
MARS SURFACE FEATURES, MORPHOLOGY, MINERALOGY AND THE MARTIAN
ATMOSPHERE.
8. COST FACTOR
• Total cost for the mission is around 450 Crores
• The amount is less than the production cost of the movie
“GRAVITY”
• The cost spent by India is just 1/10th of the amount spent
by NASA, US for MAVEN (Mars Spacecraft)
