INTERPLANETARY MISSIONS EVER UNDERTAKEN

RECENTLY, INDIA’S MANGALYAAN SATELLITE SUCCESSFULLY ENTERED MARS’ ORBIT, JOINING NASA’S OWN MAVEN SATELLITE.

Namaste, @MarsOrbiter! Congratulations to @ISRO and India’s first interplanetary mission upon achieving Mars orbit.

MANGALYAAN

CHEAPER THAN THE FILMING BUDGET FOR

“GRAVITY (2013)”INDIA HAS SPENT LESS TO REACH MARS

THAN HOLLYWOOD PRODUCERS HAVE SPENT ON THE MOVIE “GRAVITY,” WHICH

COST $100 MILLION TO MAKE.

$74M COST OF INDIA'S

MANGALYAAN

MISSION

CHEAPER THAN NASA’S MISSION

TO KEEP COSTS LOW, INDIA RELIED ON REUSING

TECHNOLOGIES. FUEL WAS SAVED BY USING A SMALLER

ROCKET TO PUT ITS SPACECRAFT INTO EARTH’S ORBIT FIRST

BEFORE SLINGSHOTTING IT TOWARD MARS.

27 MINUTES IN EARTH’S ORBIT !LARGER ROCKET AND MORE FUEL !SINGLE BURN TO LAUNCH FROM EARTH’S ORBIT INTO INTERPLANETARY TRAJECTORY

ALMOST 1 MONTH IN EARTH’S ORBIT !SMALLER ROCKET AND LESS FUEL !SEVEN BURN MANEUVERS TO LAUNCH FROM EARTH’S ORBIT INTO INTERPLANETARY TRAJECTORY

BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY. ITS PRESENCE ON MARS MAY PROVIDE

EVIDENCE THAT IT WAS ONCE CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING LIFE.

MANGALYAAN IS EQUIPPED WITH AN INSTRUMENT THAT WILL ATTEMPT

TO MEASURE METHANE IN THE ATMOSPHERE.
