The Mangalyaan (मंगलयान) mission 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 Mangalyaan Mars probe will lift off from ISRO's launch site at Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, using a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) rocket in November 2013; this will be India's first mission to Mars.
The main objective of this first Indian mission to Mars is to develop the technologies required for design, planning, management and operations of an interplanetary mission, comprising the following major tasks:
1. Orbit manoeuvres to transfer the probe from Earth-centered orbit to heliocentric trajectory and final capture into Martian orbit.
2. Development of force models and algorithms for orbit and attitude computations and analyses.
3. Navigation in all phases.
4. Maintain the probe in all phases of the mission meeting power, communications, thermal and payload operation requirements.
5. Incorporate autonomous features to handle contingency situations.
