Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) (Mangalyaan probe)
The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), informally called Mangalyaan by the media, is a planned Mars orbiter to be launched in November 2013 by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
The mission is a "technology demonstrator" project aiming to develop the technologies required for design, planning, management and operations of an interplanetary mission. The Mars Orbiter Mission probe is set to lift-off from First Launch Pad at Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, using a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) rocket on November 5, 2013. This will be India's first mission to Mars.
