  1. INDIA’S MISSION TO MARS ONE OF THE MOST ECONOMICAL INTERPLANETARY MISSIONS EVER UNDERTAKEN

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

  3. CURIOSITY WELCOMES MANGALYAAN WITH A TWEET Curiosity Rover @MarsCuriosity Namaste, @MarsOrbiter! Congratulations to @ISRO and 
 India’s first interplanetary mission upon achieving Mars orbit. ISRO’s Mars Orbiter @MarsOrbiter Howdy @MarsCuriosity ? Keep in touch. I’ll be around.

  4. MANGALYAAN WEIGHS 1,350 KG LAUNCHED NOV 5, 2013 IN MARS ORBIT SEPT 24, 2014 CLOSEST POINT TO MARS 366 KM

  5. 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.

  6. CHEAPER THAN NASA’S MISSION $74M COST OF INDIA'S MANGALYAAN MISSION $671M COST OF NASA'S MAVEN MISSION

  7. 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.

  8. MANGALYAAN MAVEN ALMOST 1 MONTH IN EARTH’S ORBIT ? SMALLER ROCKET AND LESS FUEL ? SEVEN BURN MANEUVERS TO LAUNCH FROM EARTH’S ORBIT INTO INTERPLANETARY TRAJECTORY 27 MINUTES IN EARTH’S ORBIT ? LARGER ROCKET AND MORE FUEL ? SINGLE BURN TO LAUNCH FROM EARTH’S ORBIT INTO INTERPLANETARY TRAJECTORY TIME SIZE LAUNCH

  9. MANGALYAAN’S MARS MISSION ATMOSPHERIC ANALYSIS MONITOR THE PLANET'S WEATHER TAKE COLOR PICTURES OF THE SURFACE MAP THE PLANET’S MINERAL COMPOSITION

  10. METHANE ON MARS MANGALYAAN IS EQUIPPED WITH AN INSTRUMENT THAT WILL ATTEMPT TO MEASURE METHANE IN THE ATMOSPHERE. SOME SCIENTISTS SEE METHANE AS A POTENTIAL INDICATOR OF BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY. ITS PRESENCE ON MARS MAY PROVIDE EVIDENCE THAT IT WAS ONCE CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING LIFE.

  11. WHAT’S NEXT MEASUREMENTS OF ATMOSPHERIC COMPONENTS BY INDIA’S MANGALYAAN MISSION WILL COMPLEMENT OBSERVATIONS MADE BY NASA’S MAVEN AND EUROPE’S MARS EXPRESS.
