Skylab, America’s first space station, was a
human-spaceflight highlight of the 1970s, as
was the Apollo Soyuz Test Project, the world’s
first internationally crewed (American and
Russian) space mission.

India's first lunar probe.
It was launched by the Indian Space Research
Organisation in October 2008, and operated
until August 2009.
PSLV-XL C11
The lunar mission carried five ISRO payloads
and six payloads from other space agencies
including NASA, ESA, and the Bulgarian
Aerospace Agency, which were carried free of
cost.

To design, develop, launch and orbit a
spacecraft around the Moon using an Indianmade launch-vehicle
to conduct scientific experiments using
instruments on the spacecraft which would
yield data:
◦ for the preparation of a three-dimensional atlas
(with high spatial and altitude resolution of 5–10 m)
of both the near and far sides of the Moon
◦ for chemical and mineralogical mapping of the
entire lunar surface at high spatial resolution,
mapping particularly the chemical
elements magnesium, aluminium, silicon,calcium,
iron, titanium, radon, uranium, and thorium
◦ To increase scientific knowledge
◦ To test the impact of a sub-satellite (Moon Impact
Probe — MIP) on the surface on the Moon as a forerunner to future soft-landing missions

Mars climate is most like our earth.

but our other neighbour venus is more hotter
than a human could think of.

Day and night rythem is similar to our earth.
Mars has polar ice caps.

There are deserts in mars similar to us.

Various countries attempted
to reach the mars orbit. But
India is the first country to
make it happen in the first
attempt.


Design and realisation of a Mars orbiter with a
capability to survive and perform Earth bound
manoeuvres, 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.
Mangalyaan will observe the environment of Mars
and look for various elements like methane (marsh
gas), which is a possible indicator of life. It will also
look for Deuterium-Hydroden ratio and other
neutral constants.
