Re: MOM by ISRO
The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), also called Mangalyaan is a space probe orbiting Mars since 24 September 2014. It was launched on 5 November 2013 by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) It is India's first interplanetary mission to planet Mars with an orbiter craft designed to orbit Mars in an elliptical orbit. The Mission is primarily technological mission considering the critical mission operations and stringent requirements on propulsion and other bus systems of spacecraft. It has been configured to carry out observation of physical features of mars and carry out limited study of Martian atmosphere with following five payloads: -Mars Colour Camera (MCC) -Thermal Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (TIS) -Methane Sensor for Mars (MSM) -Mars Exospheric Neutral Composition Analyser (MENCA) -Lyman Alpha Photometer (LAP) Lift-off Mass: 1337 kg Structures Aluminum and Composite Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) sandwich construction-modified I-1 K Bus Mechanism Solar Panel Drive Mechanism (SPDM), Reflector & Solar panel deployment Propulsion Bi propellant system (MMH + N2O4) with additional safety and redundancy features for MOI. Proplellant mass:852 kg Thermal System Passive thermal control system Power System Single Solar Array-1.8m X 1.4 m - 3 panels - 840 W Generation (in Martian orbit), Battery:36AH Li-ion Attitude and Orbit Control System AOCE (Attitude and Orbit Control Electronics): with MAR31750 Processor Sensors: Star sensor (2Nos), Solar Panel Sun Sensor (1No), Coarse Analogue Sun Sensor Actuators: Reaction Wheels (4Nos), Thrusters (8Nos), 440N Liquid Engine Antennae: Low Gain Antenna (LGA), Mid Gain Antenna (MGA) and High Gain Antenna (HGA) Launch Date: Nov 05, 2013 Launch Site: SDSC SHAR Centre, Sriharikota, India Launch Vehicle: PSLV - C25 |
