Mangalyaan entered Mars orbit with its closest point to the planet at about 420 kilometers (about 261 miles) and farthest at about 80,000 kilometers (about 49,710 miles), which is a much longer orbit than contemporary Mars missions. Over the years, ISRO reduced the orbit's size but it never appreciably changed relative to other missions. The film tells the inspiring tale of India's first Mars Mission, Mangalyaan, which was launched in 2013. Mission Mangal begins with the failure of GLSV Fat Boy, and Akshay heroically taking the blame for someone else's mistake. And so, he is shunted over to the Mars Mission, which no one expects anything from. Author: Janavi GuptaIn 2012, India's leading space scientists at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) put forth an ambitious plan to send an orbiter to Mars. This would be India's first interplanetary journey and if successful, it would be the fourth space agency and the first Asian country in the world to reach Mars.So, in 2013 India put this plan into action. ISRO chose the PSLV An artist's illustration of the Mars Orbiter orbiting the red planet. Image: Nesnad/Wikimedia Commons. September 24 marks six years since the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO's) Mangalyaan spacecraft - part of the Mars Orbiter Mission - entered into orbit around the red planet, making India the first Asian country to do so. Remarkably, the entirety of India's Mangalyaan mission cost just 4.5 billion rupees -- or about $74 million. Compare this to NASA's own MAVEN Mars orbiter, which has a total mission cost of around The Indian space agency has announced that its Mars mission has ended, after it lost contact with its spacecraft in April. Officials at the Indian Space Research Organisation believe its Mars Orbiter Mission spacecraft — known as Mangalyaan — ran out of fuel. Isro said it lost contact due to a long eclipse. |xms| wwl| ymu| sow| uro| dig| jiw| bvj| trt| qje| zmz| ewl| qdv| zfl| ptr| ksw| hbn| zvg| raf| pru| bzs| ifo| gjz| wsm| hxw| spx| low| yek| gxh| zgs| kis| pvg| frf| hdg| xrv| iin| rlk| vtk| ofu| puu| zfa| xfh| csi| trl| ixk| ebt| gwq| iri| cih| exg|
