  1. ISRO – NASA Space Science Co-operationS.SeethaProgramme Director, Space Sciene Programme Office, ISRO HQ& Co-Chair-INMWG Meeting on 24th Feb 2016 at ISRO HQ

  2. M-Cube (500-3000 nm) On-going cooperation in Mars Missions Lunar exploration Heliophysics Prospective Co-operation

  3. Co-operation in lunar missions • Payloads in Chandrayaan-1 • Five Indian payloads • M3: Moon Mineralogy Mapper • Mini-SAR: Miniature Synthetic Aperture Radar • Data analysis still continuing • Data made public through ISSDC and NASA sites • Ch-1 data and LRO data when requested for specific areas • AO for proposals for data analysis of Ch-1 data

  4. ISRO-NASA Mars Working Group (INMWG) formation and activities • Mars Orbit insertion of Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution Mission (MAVEN) (22Sept 2014) of NASA Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) of ISRO (24 Sept. 2014) • INMWG formed in Sept 2014 • First face to face meeting at ISRO HQ during 29-31 January 2015. • Second face to face meeting at US during Aug 2015 and • Several telecon meetings

  5. INMWG activities (contd.) • Two subgroups formed to identify – • Co-operative science activities • Co-operation for Future planetary missions • Proposed areas of co-operation • Potential co-ordinated observations of the ongoing Mars missions • Results/ Data exchange from specific instruments and for specific events / phenomena to enhance science returns • Made AO for analysis of Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) data to involve more scientists outside the original teams. • ISRO-NASA data analysis workshop for Mars data- Feb. 2016 • To enhance planetary science research

  6. Potential areas of Co-operation • Joint payload development, hosting of payloads on the missions of either side. • Information of programmatic plans on future missions/programs • Update of opportunities available between ISRO and NASA- payloads, scientific data • Cross- support using ground stations for missions flown by ISRO/NASA • Cross-calibration of ASTROSAT payloads with X-ray missions of NASA through IACHEC • Proposed co-operation in Helio-physics and space weather.

  7. Thanks
