The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), also known as Mangalyaan, is India's first interplanetary mission, launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on November 5, 2013. Its primary objective is to explore the surface and atmosphere of Mars, providing valuable data about the planet's geology, climate, and potential for life. MOM successfully entered Mars' orbit on September 24, 2014, making India the first Asian nation to reach Mars and the fourth space agency globally to do so. The mission includes a suite of scientific instruments designed to study Mars' surface features, mineral composition, and atmospheric conditions, contributing to our understanding of the planet.
