The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) of 3 OctoberThe 8-year mission of the Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) has ended.announced that he did
Mom and“Mangaliaan”It is a Mars exploration mission of an orbiter known as a nickname. Mangal yarn launched by the “PSLV-XL” rocket on November 5th 2013,It successfully entered the orbit of Mars on September 24, 2014Done At that time, the successful insertion of a probe into orbit around Mars was4th in the world, 1st in AsiaIt was a great achievement. The MOM mission period was originally scheduled for six months and orbited an oblong orbit at an altitude of 422 x 77,000 km.
According to the ISRO, eight years of MOM observations of the Martian surface and atmosphere have provided an understanding of the composition of the Martian exosphere, the potential mechanisms leading to atmospheric outflow, and the dynamics of sandstorms. In MOM it was mounted on mangal yarn by exploiting the characteristics of the orbit“Mars Color Camera (MCC)”In addition to capturing global images of Mars using, we were also able to take the first image of the back side of the Deimos satellite.
According to ISRO and the Indian newspaper The Times of India (TOI), Mangalyan lost communication with Earth after a long eclipse in April 2022. Mangalyan is designed to recover on its own after an eclipse and, although it functioned normally in past eclipses, in this eclipseexhausted the propellantAs a result, the attitude could not be controlled and the solar panel could not generate energy sustainably.lost powerIt is believed that
