Isro Mars Mission

Scientists from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) have been able get some craters named on planet Mars with Indian antecedents.

India's space research agency - ISRO - has set its sights on Earth's planetary neighbours and expects to mark its presence on Mars and Venus within five years, Dr M Sankaran, Director of the UR Rao Satellite Center in Bengaluru told NDTV.

ISRO has lined up a series of exploration missions including to Mars, Venus and to the Moon again, apart from the maiden human spaceflight programme, Chairman S Somanath said on Sunday.

In a freewheeling conversation with NDTV, Mr Somanath discussed challenges with the earlier moon mission, described in detail the workings of the lander and the rover, and his vision for the future of space research in India.

India has the capability to travel to the Moon, Mars and Venus, said Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) chairman S Somanath.

ISRO Chairman S Somanath toasted the success of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, crediting it to the "pain and agony" of all the scientists who persevered on it and expressed confidence that the space agency would similarly land a spacecraft on Mars

India's Mars mission may have cost less than some Hollywood films, but the era of jugaad and frugal engineering in the country will need to make way for more money and bigger rockets in the future, former ISRO chief K Sivan has said.

The second mission to Mars is in the study phase as the Indian space agency is looking at various options available to make the mission happen, a senior ISRO scientist said on Thursday.

ISRO, the country's space agency, will team up with the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) for sending a lunar rover to explore the permanent shadow region of the moon, the space agency has announced. The success of the lunar rover on board Chandrayaan-3 was crucial as it would be used again in the mission with JAXA, according to ISRO.

After missions to the moon and Mars, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has now set its eyes on Venus and also plans to explore the dark side of the moon in collaboration with Japan.

India has lost contact with its Mars orbiter, eight years after the low-cost probe made it the first Asian nation with a spacecraft circling the red planet, its space agency said.

The Indian Space Research Organisation confirmed on Monday that the Mars Orbiter craft has lost communication with ground station, it's non-recoverable and the Mangalyaan mission has attained end-of-life.

India's Mars Orbiter craft has run out of propellant and its battery drained beyond the safe limit, fuelling speculation that the country's maiden interplanetary mission Mangalyaan may have finally completed its long innings. The Rs. 450 crore Mars Orbiter Mission was launched onboard PSLV-C25 on November 5, 2013, and the MOM spacecraft was success...

ISRO's Mars orbiter completed eight years in orbit around the Red Planet on Monday, as the space agency's interplanetary mission surpassed the planned lifespan of six months. The Indian space agency has organised a 'National Meet on Eight Years of India's Mars Orbiter Mission' mission at its headquarters on Tuesday, and Space Commission members K R...

ISRO on Saturday successfully demonstrated a new technology with Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator (IAD) that it said is a game-changer with multiple applications for future missions including to Mars and Venus.
